Nine medals came home from Atlanta

February 28, 2026

On February 28, five Nika gymnasts stepped onto the competition floor in Atlanta, Georgia — and every single one of them stepped off it with a medal. Here is how the day went.

First place — floor & ball

Gold & silver

Every gymnast on the board

Each girl competed in two events — a floor routine and a ball routine — performed solo, to music, in front of a panel of USA Gymnastics judges.

What a meet day really takes

Warm-up before the floor

A medal is the last thirty seconds of months of work. Behind every routine in Atlanta were weeks of practice at our Oak Ridge studio — stretching, repeating the same element until it feels easy, and learning to perform it calmly with judges watching.

For young gymnasts, competition day is a lesson of its own: warming up next to girls from other clubs, waiting for your name, walking out alone onto a big carpet — and showing what you can do. That takes real courage at any age, and our girls handled it beautifully.

We are proud of our gymnasts — for their beautiful performances and their strong spirit.
