My life

Gymnastics

An other important part of my life is gymnastics. I started as a gymnast when I was 6 years old, and continued until I was 16. In the beginning I was doing artistic gymastics , where I trained in different apparatus;

Vault



















Uneven bars














Balance Beam













(young me in competition)

Floor exercise














Artistic gymastics are individually both in training and in competitions, there's only one gymnast in action in one time. I've been to a lot of competitions and camps with "DFI Turn", and though we never were the best, it's memories I'll carry for ever! We've had so much fun!

When I was 13 (I think), I started as an intructor, and I still am. I've been training children (mostly girls) from the age 3 and up to 12, and I think it's a lot of fun, but it's not always an easy job.. :P

When I became older I understood that I should stop with artistic gymnastics, because I wasn't willing to train 10 hours a week any more. School and friends were very importent, and I was going to instruct younger gymnasts. But I couldn't stop doing gymnastics, so I startet TeamGym! In TeamGym the gymnasts are operating in a team, and there are other disciplines. Originally the teams are doing three disciplines; floor, tumbling and trampette, but in our club we were just doing tumbling and trampette. Our team was a mix of boys and girls, and we had a lot of fun and learned a lot! We even took part in NM in these disciplines, but we did everything wrong, and ended up as nr 63 or something. :P

When our coach moved and couldn't instruct us anymore I stopped doing gymnastics, and I missed it a lot. Last week I started training again, this time with an other coach and we're mostly training trampette! It's so much fun! :D I'm looking forward to new happy memories in gymnastics!

This is me practising on a camp in Lom, summer 2004. We were going to have a show later that day. (I was not too good here!! Haha)
