Jonathan Law’s gymnastics season is now underway. The gymnastics season runs from December through February. Junior Gina Lombardi is excited about this season as she has been a competitive gymnast her entire life. Lombardi is a devoted team member and enjoys contributing to the team’s success. Advocate Staff Reporter Alexa Rosati interviewed Lombardi about the upcoming 2023-2024 season. 

Alexa Rosati: What are you looking forward to this season?

Gina Lombardi: I am looking forward to spending time with our new teammates, and hosting meets. 

AR: How do gymnastics meets work?

GL: There are four events and there is a judge for each event. There are two teams for a dual meet and we would start on the vault and bars. The team hosting starts on the vault. The order is vault, bars, beam, and floor. Everyone gets scored right after they compete, then at the end, the final score/ who won is announced. 

AR: What is a goal you have for this season?

GL: A goal I have for this season is to do well as a team and have fun.

AR: What is your favorite part about the team?

GL: My favorite part about the team is the chance to make friendships that will continue past the season.

AR: What makes gymnastics unique from other sports?

GL: Gymnastics is unique because it is a non-contact sport, and it takes a lot of balance and strength for your mind and body.
