Dutch Nationals: Report and Results

In the AA competition Vera van Pol took the gold. A fall on beam was her only big mistake. The silver winner was a surprise, first year senior Mara Titarsolej. This elegant gymnast had a rough year and had a great competition up until beam (two falls and hands down one time). Mara also placed first on floor with a 14.000. The bronze went to last-year’s Dutch National Junior Champion, Tisha Volleman. Volleman had, besides one fall from beam, a good competition. Her scores were all in the 12’s with the exception of vault. But with Maartje Ruikes (4th place) having an off-day and Dyonaillys Supriana (5th) competing with watered-down routines she definitely deserved the bronze medal.

  No real surprises here. The vault and floor finals were won by Vera van Pol and the bars and beam finals by Sanne Wevers. On the junior field first year elite gymnast Sophie van Beek took home the gold on vault, Sering Perdok won bars and Marieke van Egmond won beam and floor. The youth really had a fight for the gold medals. Bogusia Rossen won vault and floor and Sanna Veerman bars and beam.<br /> In the junior field Marisa Koedoot concluded her comeback on beam with a silver medal. After two years of injuries, this once most promising young Dutch gymnast, proves she still has the qualities. Hopefully she can shine on all four events next year.
