Rebecca, Ronit and Jazzy Dominate U.S. Championship

The United States Championship in rhythmic gymnastics took place in Louisville this week. I have to admit I had looked into going there and watching these wonderful gymnasts live, especially Jazzy Kerber, who I have only watched online.

Here are some results:

Hoop
1 Rebecca Sereda 16.450
2 Jazzy Kerber 16.200
3 Ronit Shamuilov 15.600

Ball
1 Rebecca Sereda 16.950
2 Ronit Shamuilov 16.050
3 Cindy Lu 15.900

Clubs
1 Jazzy Kerber 16.050
2 Gabrielle Lowenstein 15.700
2 Serena Lu 15.700

Ribbon
1 Ronit Shamuilov 15.800
2 Rebecca Sereda 15.550
3 Jazzy Kerber 15.350

These look like pretty high scores for Rebecca, who has already proven herself at the international level as well. I think Jazzy and Ronit should be getting over 16.5 as well since they have lots of difficulty. I don't know how cleanly they performed, though.

Well, I could not go to Kentucky but I still have some awesome photos of Rebecca and Ronit that my sunshine Alex took from an event in Boston.

Awesome American Level 10 Gymnasts

We went to a rhythmic gymnastics invitational at Shady Hill School in MA and watched some very talented young ladies:

Ronit and Rebecca Shine in Boston

While everyone else was watching the Superbowl, I attended, as any rhythmic gymnastics fan should, an invitational at Shady Hill High School in Cambridge. Rebecca Sereda and Ronit Shamuilov, America's top rhythmic gymnasts, looked more mature, bedazzled in sparkly leos and very confident.

The two of them really will compete with each other and I am hopeful that, unlike many other teams, the US will have, TWO top gymnasts, who motivate each other instead of designating one "prima."The new routines need lots of work because we are still in the beginning of the season but they did show beautiful moves already:
