OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT

In this section all the top juniors and seniors in the country compete against each other irrespective of age.

In the preliminaries 2 routines are executed, a neatness routine where only execution counts and the difficulty is not taken into consideration, a second routine where difficulty is added.

In the finals they start with a zero score and do only 1 routine.

Due to injury earlier in the competition Strike Nkuna withdrawn. In reality Offering Tlaka and Lucky Radebe were the best candidates but misfortune happened. In his first routine Lucky was awarded the highest execution mark awarded at the 2010 gym games, 9.0. Regretfully in his 2nd routine he hit padding on the 2nd skill, incurring a slight injury and his coach withdrew him from finals. / Since all the TUKS seniors have triple somersault skills in their routines Junior Zander who was lying in 1st place decided to start his routine also with a triple somersault, mastered but not done in a competition yet. He did the triple but with 2nd skill hit padding and moved from 1st place to 8th place.
