Sticking the landing is good for a gymnast's score, a gymnast's confidence, and helps to maintain a gymnast's good health. But, some days it's hard to stick the landing.

It was a great week! I competed at the USA Gymnastics Region 8 Championships and qualified to go to Nationals!

There was a lot of great places to do handstands at the Marietta Square today! I also did Laurie Hernandez's Press Toe-Touch challenge! Let me know how I did over on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whitneybflippin/ From Wikipedia: Handstands in Gymnastics - There is one basic handstand style in modern gymnastics: straight back. Straight-back style is employed when the aesthetics of straight body lines are desired and feasible. In many cases (e.g., when a handstand is being performed in conjunction with a gymnastic apparatus). All basic gymnastic handstands have these characteristics: Straight arms with hands placed on the ground approximately shoulder-width apart. Straight legs, held together and tight. Pointed toes so as to continue the lines of the legs. Head in ears always hid by your arms. In addition, straight-back handstands have these characteristics: Tucked head (face pointed forward) as if standing upright. Straight spine, with hips pushed forward. If performed while lying flat, this would cause the small of the back to contact ground.

This week I got to hang out with my sister, Blakely, at the condo. We had a fun time singing and laughing, playing with kittens and puppies, and trying on Blakely's Pumbaa costume which Blakely will wear next week while playing Pumbaa in Brittney Leazer Productions production of Disney's The Lion King Kids. I had a good week of gymnastics getting ready for Regionals which will take place next week.

It's been almost a year since I had surgery on my right elbow for osteochondritis dissecans or OCD! It felt so good to be competing again!! I got lots of support from my team, coaches, and my family.

I received some money from my grandparents for Christmas and decided to go and spend it! Blakely was just supposed to come along for the ride. But, Dad was no match against 10-year-old Blakely tears. I am very grateful for all my gifts and I understand that I am extremely fortunate, and kind of spoiled...(but, I am not half as spoiled as Blakely!)

Whitney has had intense pain in her heel for the past 2 weeks. Her orthopedic doctor did not find any fractures or obvious soft tissue damage. Whitney's physical therapist, Lauren, is usually successful at making Whitney feel better. Here she uses dry needling to loosen up the muscles connected to Whitney's heel. From Wikipedia: In the treatment of trigger points for persons with myofascial pain syndrome, dry needling is an invasive procedure in which a filiform needle is inserted into the skin and muscle directly at a myofascial trigger point. A myofascial trigger point consists of multiple contraction knots, which are related to the production and maintenance of the pain cycle. Deep dry needling for treating trigger points was first introduced by Czech physician Karel Lewit in 1979. Lewit had noticed that the success of injections into trigger points in relieving pain was apparently unconnected to the analgesic used. Proper dry needling of a myofascial trigger point will elicit a local twitch response (LTR), which is an involuntary spinal cord reflex in which the muscle fibers in the taut band of muscle contract. The LTR indicates the proper placement of the needle in a trigger point. Dry needling that elicits LTRs improves treatment outcomes, and may work by activating endogenous opioids. The activation of the endogenous opioids is for an analgesic effect using the Gate Control Theory of Pain. Inserting the needle can itself cause considerable pain, although when done by well-trained practitioners that is not a common occurrence. No study to date has reported the reliability of trigger point diagnosis and physical diagnosis cannot be recommended as a reliable test for the diagnosis of trigger points.

I qualified for the Event Finals on balance beam and uneven bars at the Star Struck Invitational Gymnastics Meet on the previous day of competition ( https://youtu.be/gGY83hNg-0I ). In the Event Finals there were no different age groups so I got to compete against all of the level 10's at the competition. I came in first place in the two events that I competed! Then, we had to race to the airport in order to make the last flight back home. And, we made it!
