THE TOP 5 WORST CHOREOGRAPHED FLOOR ROUTINES

Usually, floor brings us artistry and grace but these culprits are destroying the floor. These are my top 5 picks for the worst floor routines so if you don't agree, please don't get in a brawl with me. 

So let's get started;

5. Abby Stack (Georgia/USA) 2009
As far as college choreography goes, this is the worst

4. Rebecca Bross (USA) 2010
Well, this is the stereotypical choice and it is quite unfair that Brossy gets judged by this but I don't know, it's just so mechanical and she can't help it. It's cringey!

3. Hong Un Jong (PRK) 2008
This is really sad because (not being a bitch), I've probably seen more artistic MAG routines. I think that she would be much better suited in T&T because she rocks tumbling but it's sad.

2. Brenna Dowell (USA) 2012
I love Brenna but where is the choreography? Literally? 

1. Eun Kyung Park (KOR) 2008
To be fair, at least she had a go at choreography unlike Brenna but omg? It doesn't help with 7 passes!!!!

I'm sorry if I've offended. I'd love to hear your worst choreographed routines:)

4. Huang Qiushuang (CHN)
5. Shang Chusong (CHN)
6. Charlie Fellows (GBR)

This meet sounds interesting. 

BRITISH CHAMPIONSHIPS: MY COVERAGE

Well, you may or may not know but I am going to the British Championships at the Echo Arena, Liverpool next month and I am super hyped. It's the biggest national meet in Britain and is basically a qualifier/decider for European and World competitions. In 2012, first year senior Rebecca Tunney took the all-around title. It's shaping up to be a great field with amazing new seniors like Gabrielle Jupp (2013 American Cup competitor) and Angel Romaeo. The older, more experienced gymnasts are likely to include Hannah Whelan, Rebecca Tunney and Niamh Rippin. Unfortunately, we won't see Jennifer Pinches or Beth Tweddle due to retirement. 

So enough of the pre competition story, I am going to the Event Finals on Sunday 24th March, so make sure you keep note of that. So you know, the top 8 girls go up on each event  and battle for victory. 

The biggest part of the annoyance of overseas gymnastics is time zones. It's quite annoying when you want to watch an event but have to stay up at stupid o'clock. It's an early start at 10:30am so make sure all you gym fans, get up and follow the action. Here is a list of the major times from other time zones (if you're is not listed, sorry!);

Eastern Time - 6:30am EST

Central Time - 5:30am CST

Pacific Time - 3:30am PST

Mountain Time - 4:30am MST

Sydney Time - 9:30pm EDT

Moscow Time - 1:30pm MSK

Eastern European Time - 12:30pm EET


So, many of you have said that you would like video coverage on YT so I'm likely to be bringing my video camera. I am also going to be live tweeting but not as regular as videos. I also may be able to live blog but I am down for YT and Twitter.

NEW YOUTUBE!

So, I recently created a new youtube account. I shall be posting the 2013 British Championships but I am also doing Q&A videos. 

The Q&A is basically a way to send me your questions and I will answer them in a YT video. 
I'm 13 years old so if you're thinking you'll be getting a 25 year old man, you're wrong but if you want to judge me, go ahead, tell me in a question. 

Send me questions here, here and here
