Chapter Three: Norther open
It's the day of the norther open at ten o'clock in the morning, Lauren Tanner, Kaylie Cruz, Becca Keeler and Anastasia Woolley/Stren and the other gymnasts taking part in the Norther open are warming up for the competition, the coaches and national team coordinator Dmitri Belov are watching them warm up. For the first time in the Norther open history the Rock and IGA gymnast have the hometown advantage because the competition is being held in Boulder Colorado and the stands at the Boulder sport area are filling up. Payson Keeler is sitting in the first row in the middle seat between the north east end and north west end of the sport area, Mrs. Keeler is sitting to Payson right with Angel Stren on her lap, Mr. Keeler is sitting on Payson left and Amber Stren is sitting on his lap and Payson is hold Ace and Andy Stren. Darby Conrad, Ellen Beals and MJ Martin who are all wearing black dress pants and a white long sleeve blouse walk over to the commentator seats and table and the three of them sit down at the table. Darby Conrad, Ellen Beals and MJ Martin start looking around the sport area to see where each of the events is going to take place at, the vault table and vault runway is set on a platform that is running from the south east end to the south west end of the area and when you push off the vault table you will land near the south east end of the sport area. The spring floor exercise mat is set up on the platform that is in the north east corner of the sport area. The balance beam is set up on a platform that is between the north west end of the area and south west end of the area and the uneven bars are set up on the platform in the center of north east and north west section of the area between the floor exercise and the beam. Darby Conrad turns on the microphones and then she starts talking.
"MJ Martin's you are the sports agent that represents 2007 and the 2008 America gymnastics senior national champion, 2007 world all-around, Beam, vault and floor champion and 2008 summer Olympic all-around, beam, vault, uneven bars and floor champion Anastasia Woolley/Stren can you tell the audience watching in person and the one watching on tv what events that Anastasia Woolley/Stren will be doing today?"
"She will be return to the all-around competition today and before you even ask Ellen Beals, yes I think that Anastasia is physical and mentally ready and she is in better shape then she was at the Olympic, but will be wearing a metallic gold Defiance III Female Fource ACL knee brace when training and compete to protect the knee during the first year of healing post surgery and will be allowed to stop wearing the brace in September of 2010 and I believe that Anastasia will be on top of the leader board after her first event."
"It's like you can read my mind, I was going to ask you if she was physical ready for the all-around and if she was wearing an ACL knee brace. Do you think there is anyone here that could have a chance at beat her today?"
"Her teammate Kaylie Cruz and Lauren Tanner along with Jordan Randall and Kelly Parker, both from IGA have routines with high enough difficult levels and if Kaylie, Lauren, Jordan, Kelly and Anastasia all stick their routines the five of them will be fighting for first place."
"That lead me to mine next question MJ, where is Payson Keeler at because I do not see her warming up with her teammates?"
"She is out with a back injury, but will be competing at the National championship in August Ellen. In addition for the first time Becca Keeler, Payson little sister will be competing in the junior elite all-around and as a team member for the Rocky Mountain Gymnastics Training Center team and its Becca's first time competing on a platform floor and on a different note to let the first timer viewers watching this competition know the team, all-around and event finals medals are awarded on the same day."

Anastasia Woolley/Stren and the rest of the rock team are wearing a purple long sleeve leotard that has sheer shoulders and sleeves and a shine purple body. The leotards have gold and sliver glitter all over them and have a scoop neckline and keyhole back in the center of the back. The leotards are from GK and above the right leg say Anastasia with GK under Anastasia's name and the rock gymnasts have their hair pulled up in ponytails.

The great fall gymnasts are wearing white leotards that have red and blue stars on them and all the gymnasts have a number pinned to the back of the leotard so the judge knows which gymnast is up, a number is assigned to each gymnast. At the same time Darby Conrad voice comes over the loudspeaker again.
"Anastasia Woolley/Stren is the first to go on the floor and she is doing the floor routine that she used at the Olympic game."
At the same time Anastasia's walks up the steps of the platform that the spring floor mat is set up on, then walks up to the edge of the floor mat and when one of the floor judge rise the start flag Anastasia's salute the floor judges. Anastasia then walks onto the left-hand corner of the blue spring floor mat that is nearest to the seats at the north east viewing section and gets down on her hands and knees on the floor mat. She is facing the coroner and is looking down at the floor mat. Once the music Beijing dream starts up Anastasia rises to a kneeling position and then graceful rise to her feet, at the same time Anastasia is gracefully moving both of her arms and hands around her head and still moving her arm graceful around her head Anastasia rise onto her toes then turns in circles toward the edge of the mat. Anastasia then goes right into a triple Illusion turn, which is called a Woolley/Stren one after preforming the skill at 2007 worlds and is an E level skill, into a straddler jump with a half turn and now her back is to the edge of the mat.

She salutes the floor judges and then walk off the spring floor mat and walks over to the steps of the platform. A few moments later Anastasia is walking down the steps and at the same time Ellen Beals voice comes over the loudspeaker.
"Anastasia Woolley/Stren just had a prefect floor routine and she only been back to tumbling for two weeks. Kaylie Cruz who is up next will have to have a prefect floor routine to over take Anastasia in the first round or for first place in the floor because Anastasia's floor routine is able to score up to a seventeen and the judges have given her a 16.9 and Kaylie is preforming a new floor routine for the first time today."
At the same time Kaylie walk up to the floor mat and the flag to start the floor routine is rise. Kaylie salutes the judges and then walks onto the floor. Kaylie then walks a few feet away from the right-hand corner of the floor mat, which is in front of the north east viewing section of the sport area and then sit down on the floor and goes into straddler splits (side spilt) and her back is to the people watching from the south east and south west of the area. When the instrumental version of another one bite the dust start playing Kaylie punches the floor with both hands then does a press to a handstand, she lowers her right leg first and then lowers her left leg.

Kaylie salutes the floor judge and then walks off the floor, as Kaylie walks down the steps Jordan Randall of IGA is walking up to the platform step and she stops Kaylie when she gets to the last step.
"Kaylie I love your new floor routine. The music suits you."
"Thanks Jordan."
The two gymnasts smile at each other and then Kaylie walks over to the chairs and sit down on the end chair that is on the right-hand side if standing in front of the chairs and at the same time Jordan Randall walk up the platform steps. A few moments later the flag to start the routine is rise and Jordan salutes the floor judges and then step onto the floor mat. Jordan then stoops into the right-hand coroner of the floor mat.

"Kristen Hennford just finishes a great beam routine, but it will not get a high enough score to take over first place in the all-around or take over Jordan for second, place but she could over take Kaylie Cruz for third place. On another note I am surprise to see the 2008 national sliver medalist Kelly Parker is about to compete on floor exercise because she has been using crutches because of an injured right ankle since the evening of April 4 and has not been training. She also just stopped using crutches last night and she is still limping and the right ankle is still very swelling."
At the same time Kelly Parker with a tan bauerfiend achillotrain pro achilles tendon support on her right ankle walk up to the edge of the floor mat and minutes later she salutes the floor judge.

Kelly's back is now to the edge of the mat, she runs a few pace across the floor and then does a roundoff into a back handspring into a back handspring and goes right into a backward salto with three and half twists, but over rotations and steps out of bounds on the landing. A few moments later Kelly limps off of the last step of the platform staircase and over to the chairs. At the same time Ellen Beals voice comes over the loudspeaker.
"I do not think Kelly Parker is in any shape to be competing today that is the worse floor routine I every saw her perform. What do you think Darby?"
"I think that it is Kelly and her coaches' choice if she competes and not your choice Ellen. But let changes the subject, thirteen-year-old junior elite gymnast Tessa Grande from the Olympic gymnastics club is about to do her uneven bars routine and she is performing today despite having swelling tonsils and running a low grade fever."

Anastasia taps Becca on the left shoulder and Becca turn and looks at Anastasia.
"Becca preforming on the platform floor is the same as if preform on a stage, like when you did your beam routine at your school talent show. You will do great if you just have fun doing your floor routine."
"Thanks Ana."
"You are welcome."
Becca walks up the steps and then walks up to the spring floor exercise mat. A few minutes later Becca steps onto the floor mat and raises onto her toes and put her right hand above her eyes, like shields her eye from the sun.

The great fall gymnastic club and the Denver elite gymnastics club are heading over to the vault and the Pinewood club and the Olympic gymnastics club is heading over to the floor. When IGA and the rock gymnasts reach the uneven bars Kaylie who is the first up on the uneven bars already has her wristbands and grips on, Kaylie walks up the platform steps and few moments later Kaylie is putting chalk onto her hands.

"Do not be too hard on yourself, for your first competition as a junior elite and doing an uneven bars routine with a very high difficulty level you did pretty well and only made a few errors. At my first competition as a junior elite I fall off the uneven bar twice and set down on my dismount. You just need to train the routine more and then you will be able to make it through the routine without having forms errors or a step on the dismount."
"Thanks for making me feel better."

A few minutes later the gymnasts are warming up for the third rotation and at the same time Ellen Beals voice comes over the loudspeaker.
"National team coordinator Dmitri Belov has join Darby, MJ and I to talk about the first and second rotations. Belov after two rotations the current world, national and Olympic all-around champion Anastasia Woolley/Stren is in first place in the all-around and first in floor and uneven bars events and the Rocky Mountain Gymnastics Training Center is in first place in the team standing, do you think anyone can over take Anastasia or the Rocky Mountain Gymnastics Training Center in the standing?"
"Anastasia Woolley/Stren is at the top of her game today and so are most of the gymnasts from Rocky Mountain Gymnastics Training Center, but IGA is right behind Rocky Mountain Gymnastics Training Center in the team standing and Rocky mountain gymnastic training center and IGA is up on the beam in the third rotation and that event has been known to change the standing, if the gymnast from the Rocky Mountain Gymnastics Training Center stay on the beam and stick their routines then I do not see any of the teams over taking them in the standing. I am not sure if anyone will be able to take the lead from Anastasia in the all-around because she got a sixteen-point nine on the floor and a seventeen-point zero on the uneven bars, which is the highest score you can get. Anastasia will need to have some major errors on beam for Kaylie Cruz, Lauren Tanner or Jordan Randall to be able to over take her in the all-around."
"Dmitri Belov what do you think of the junior elite gymnasts that are compete here today?"
"MJ, I think that the top three junior elite gymnasts are Becca Keeler, Tessa Grande and Wendy Capshaw and the three of them will be sixteen years old in 2012, if you look over at the vault Tessa Grande is about to do her first of two vaults."
