Jocy's Competition in Edirne

Jocy's group recently got licensed to compete in the Turkish Federation Olympic Club.  This is the first year her coach has done this.  It's pretty exciting and I think a great experience for Jocy.  She has been working so hard!!  She even gave up her Spring Break to train 4 days a week for 3 hours a day.  It paid off big!  She has been struggling with her splits for a while.  She has the longest legs (thanks to me) and has some flexibility issues (thanks again to me).  Yana wanted to push Jocy but try not to go all Russian on her. :)  The other 4 girls have been training for at least 4 years and one is her daughter.  Jocy only been doing this a year this past January.

I was proud of the girls!  They placed 5th out of 7 but they barely missed 4th.  Three of the groups were just amazing.  So more advanced than our girls.  But from what I understand, their training schedule is insane!  This is just an extracurricular activity for Jocy, until she decides otherwise.  Who knows if she will continue when we head back to the States.

So here's a video from Saturday.  Sorry its not great.  LOVE their costumes.  One of the mom's makes them.  And she is self taught!!
