Their synchronized moves, a blend of controlled lifts, and graceful flips, captivated not only the judges but also the crowd at the tournament.

Their hearts pounded with excitement as they showcased their skills and dedication, hoping for the title they’ve been striving for. For Ornelas, the thrill of competition only intensifies the experience. Acrobatic gymnastics demands unwavering focus and teamwork, where even the slightest misstep can tip the balance. However, the pair’s hard work paid off as they swept away the title.

Ornelas’ and Firenze’s emphatic win

Reflecting on the championship, Ornelas admitted that the pair was nervous and scared since this was their biggest competition. Yet this young gymnast shone brightly in the spotlight, brimming with passion for her craft. Their routine included a captivating combination of dance, tumbling, and throws, distinct from traditional gymnastics, yet equally mesmerizing. According to a Ramona Home Journal report, Ornelas said, “The most nerve-wracking part is waiting to go on and looking at your score.? This marks her second year competing, and with each season, her skill and dedication have grown exponentially. The USA Gymnastics Championships are one of seven competitions throughout the year, where Ornelas and Firenze showcase their extraordinary partnership.

Their hard work and undeniable talent have paid off immensely. Not only did they clinch the national title in Level 7 for the 12-13 age group, but they were also recognized as the Pair of the Year at regionals for Levels 5-7. Moreover, they secured the highest Level 7 score among all competitors. Ornelas’ passion for acrobatic gymnastics began early when she started practicing movements like tumbling.

Discovering SoCal TTC in Poway provided the perfect opportunity to explore her passion further. The essence of partnership, the bond with her teammate, and the thrill of learning new routines motivate her to reach greater heights. Their win not just means that they win the title, but the USA Gymnastics Championships also act as a platform for identifying and selecting winners for upcoming tournaments in the year.
