“Watching” Prelims through twitter and blog updates was quite a different view of a competition! I think it made me way more nervous! But the young rookie team did well. Thanks to Mrsangeandbella and piibunia for all the video uploads! Here they are in the order of competition. You can watch each individually below followed by scores and placings or just check out this playlist.

Good Geinger. Makes piked Tkcatchev, excellent! Tkatchev. Dismount is full in with just a small hop. Someone up in the gallery, maybe Martha, is just screaming her lungs out for the girls as they perform.
