Olympiad Gymnast Places 2nd in USA Gymnastics Ninja Challenge


USA Gymnastics unveiled the USA Gymnastics Ninja Challenge this summer at three of its premier events.  st. Louis was one of the cities picked to host this new event. One June 24-26, gymnasts/ninjas from all over St. Louis were invited to attend the Ninja Challenge course.  This course gave children the opportunity to jump, hang, swing, run and perform other basic movements, utilizing all of the different body parts. 

The Ninja Challenge had three age divisions: 6-7 year olds, 8-9 year olds and 10-11 year olds. The top gymnasts in each age division were recognized as the Ninja Challenge champions during the final day of competition in that city.  

Our own Brianna B from Olympiad Chesterfield placed 2nd in the St. Louis City Finals as well as Cory S placing 4th, Ella M placing 9th, Ava Riegeosberger placing 7th, and Tucker E placing 9th overall. We were so proud of our athletes making gymnastics history with the first year of Ninja Challenge by USAG.
