My floor routine My finest moment in sports occurred March 25, 2006—the day of the North Carolina Gymnastics State Championship. This was my first year as a competitive gymnast at North Raleigh Gymnastics. I like all my gymnastics events—floor, vault, bars, and balance beam—but my very favorite is my floor routine. I perform it to the theme of the movie “Finding Nemo.” When the judges were ready for my routine, I walked to the middle of the floor and took my position. While I was waiting, I felt very excited about performing. When the music began, I performed a few dance moves and continued with my running split leap. I stepped into the corner and turned around to do my round-off back handspring. Throughout my routine I couldn’t stop smiling, even when I was doing my back-walkover. At the end of my routine, I could see that my teammates and coaches were cheering for me. During the award ceremony, they called my name to receive the first-place medal for my floor routine. I was so excited. It’s great to be part of a team where we all cheer and encourage each other to do our very best. Emerson Schulz | Wake Forest | Wake EMC |
