Antibes Rhythmic Skills Competition
Posted: December 13, 2012 in toronto gymnasticsTags: antibes rhythmic, antibesgym, gymnastics, performance, rhythmic gymnastics, toronto
On October 25th, 2012, Antibes Rhythmic School of Gymnastics has their annual Skills Competition. The Skills competition involves four main teams, each performing specific techniques in rhythmic Gymnastics. The four main teams are team balance, team pivot, team flexibility, and team jump. Each of these techniques are incorporated into the gymnastics routines of the girls, and are performed with apparatuses.
Team jump displayed the basic jump skills used in their gymnastics routines, whether with apparatuses or a free routine, like the tuck jump, and the passé jump. Team Balance went second, and were quite impressive with the different balance positions they performed.
Team pivot went after, and entered the floor in a graceful and relevant way to their technique, pirouetting onto the carpet. They performed a series of turns, displaying to the parents intricate movements of pivots. Team flexibility went last, but proved to a crowd pleaser, as the gymnasts contorted their bodies into different shapes and positions. Each team beautifully displayed the skills and techniques that make up rhythmic gymnastics, and the wide variety of elements used in the routines.
At the end of the night, it was time to rank the teams, from 1st to 4th place. Team balance won 1st place, followed by team flexibility, then team pivot, and finally team jump.
Individual routines were also performed by the competitive gymnasts, and you were able to see how the skills performed by the teams were incorporated into routines, and how they were used with apparatuses.
At the end of the night, the teams were awarded at the awards ceremony, and gymnast was able to choose a toy from the table at the head of the gym.
We hope the gymnasts continue to practice and improve on their skills from each of the four categories, and how they perform them in concession to their apparatuses. We hope to see the teams perform again next year!

Antibes Rhythmic Gymnastics 2012 baby Cup Winner

Every year, the gymnasts at the
Antibes School of Rhythmic
Gymnastics compete at the annual
end of year Baby Cup show- a
show determining the winner of the
prestigious Baby Cup!
The Baby Cup is an honorable, and
traditional award here at Antibes
Rhythmic. Each year, the 7 year-old
girl who displays the most hard work,
ambition, and sportsmanship among
her fellow gymnasts receives the Baby
Cup, an award commemorating her
determination.
The winner of the 2012 Baby Cup was
year 7-year old Amy K. When I sat
down with Amy, we asked her how it
felt winning the Baby Cup after her
hard work at trainings. “I was happy
and excited,” Amy told us.
Most girls Amy’s age are usually just
starting Elementary school. But Amy
is already training 2-3 times a week, and
that doesn’t stop during the summer,
when Amy attends gymnastics camp.
I asked Amy what she does when she
gets tired at trainings, and how she
handles it. “I sit down and rest quickly,
or have a drink of water, and then go
back to work.”
What goes the mind of our Baby Cup
winner when performing her routine is
the question I had wanted answered. “I
think about doing my routine good and
winning if I do it good.” Amy told me.
I had also asked Amy what advice she
would give to the younger gymnasts
here at Antibes Rhythmic, and possibly
future Baby Cup winners. “When you
can’t do a skill, don’t stop doing it, try
and try again,” she said “and listen to
your coaches”.
Amy K, 2012 Baby Cup Winner
We wish Amy the best of luck in future
trainings and competitions, and hope
she can set a great example for other
gymnastics to come. We also wish
all the gymnasts at Antibes Rhythmic
Gymnastics good luck in the 2012-
2013 competitive year!
