- [Chris] Parker's got his name on his.

- [Chris Oh! Gymnastics scarf!
(Upbeat piano music)
Morning everyone, today we are doing an update
on these guys and their gymnastics.
Duncan's here too.
- I'm going to do 'nastics too!
- You're doing gymnastics, too?
Not yet, pretty soon though, you can do gymnastics
if you want!
- Okay!
- [Chris] Okay!
All right so these two guys have been working so hard,
they are now officially on team, and competing.
So we're going to give you guys a little update
on their progress.
We've done this a couple times before,
[Chris] you can watch those old videos,
now we're going to talk about the journey
that they've gone on,
and the new things that they're doing.
(energetic orchestral music)
- [Chris] Jake what are you wearing? What, what is this
on your back here?
Oh! Is that a team backpack?
- [Jake] Yep!
- [Chris] Look at this has got your name on it!
Parker's got his name on his.
- Just in case for emergencies of coolness.
- [Chris] Oh! Gymnastics scarf!
- In mine I have this little bag from the last one.
- [Chris] Oh yeah at one of the meets,
they gave you this extra bag,
so now you've got a bag in a bag,
which is one of mommy's favorites.
- I have my special shorts,
and my shirt.
- [Chris] When this video goes up you will have done
three different competitions.
How has that been for you?
How's competing?
- Uh it's a little hard and,
well it's not hard it's pretty fun.
(bouncy music)
- [Chris] What's your favorite event to compete in?
- Uh right now it's like mushroom I think.
- [Chris] The Pommel horse mushroom thing?
- Yeah.
- [Chris] In the past few days,
you've really excelled in that, I've noticed.
Like even in the, just like the past week,
it's like something clicked and you're
just really going for it.
(Bouncy music)
- [Chris] What's something that you feel
like you need the most work on?
- Maybe floor?
(Bouncy music)
- [Chris] How do you like competing?
- It's good!
- [Chris] It's good? What's your--
- And exciting!
- [Chris] It's exciting?
- Yeah!
- [Chris] What is your favorite event?
- I know it! Bars!
I already have one at my house.
(energetic rock music)
- [Chris] What's your favorite move to do on it?
- Uh, Back hip circles. It's the fit,
it's the funnest one I know.
(energetic rock music)
- [Chris] What is the thing that you feel
like you need the most work on?
- Uh, Pommel horse.
(Energetic rock music)
- I've gotten a circle, but...
Ah it's still pretty hard.
- [Chris] How much practicing do you do?
- Uh, I do four hours a week.
- [Chris] Jacob, what is on your neck?
- They're medals that I got.
So I got two bronze,
one silver
three golds, and like, uh,
like a really cool first place thing,
which they add up all,
we're separated into like three teams-ish,
and they add up all the points that we get,
however many points we get at the end,
matters to how much of these things,
who wins first place, second place, and third place.
So my team won first place.
- This is bronze, I think I got it on mushroom.
Um, I have four silvers,
five including this one.
Five, so this is all my five silvers.
I count this one as a gold and a silver,
and I count these two as golds.
- [Chris] It was super cool watching you guys
get the medals,
because you got the stand on the little platforms,
and like the whole thing,
it was really really fun to watch that happen.
That was a fun meet.
(Upbeat pop music)
- [Chris] So they don't get medals for every meet.
Sometimes they get ribbons,
and really just the experience of being in gymnastics,
and competing, and trying to better themselves.
- And trying to jiggle around.
Let's make some noise, noise noise!
- [Chris] How has it been being in gymnastics?
- It's been so much
- Yay!
- Fun.
(Laughing)
- and fun!
- [Chris] And what are your goals for the next year?
- Uh, to get green on everything.
- Yeah!
(Laughing)
- [Chris] Is green the best?
- [Together] Yes.
- [Chris] Are you trying to level up,
or just get green on everything.
- I really want to level up, too,
like that's my goal, is to level up.
- [Chris] Are there things you do in gymnastics
that you don't do in a competition?
- Yeah, a lot of things, ah.
- [Chris] Like what?
- Um, we do like front flips on the vault
instead of straight jumps, and--
- We do stuff on tumble track.
- Mm hmm.
- And.
- We're trying to learn back handsprings.
(upbeat pop music)
- And that's pretty much it.
- We're tying to learn back handsprings
so we can put it in our routine.
- [Chris] But do you climb rocks?
- [Together] Uh, no.
- [Chris] Duncan does!
Duncan, what are you doing on that rock?
What are you doing up there?
- No I goofy.
- [Chris] Is that your Pommel horse?
- I'm goofy.
- [Chris] You're goofy?
- Uh huh.
- [Chris] Gosh!
We are so proud of the boys and all
that they've accomplished in their gymnastics.
It is so much fun watching them compete,
and I want to thank you guys so much
for being on this journey with us,
