Congratulations to Allie Palmer for winning Gymnastike's Pro Gym Challenge Prediction Contest! As the contest champion, Allie has been awarded a FREE session of gymnastics camp at IGC, International Gymnastics Camp! How awesome is that?!
The Professional Gymnastics Challenge featured an amazing cast of Olympic and world-renowned gymnasts competing in a new, exciting format. PGC is a skill-for-skill competition with teams consisting of both men and women squaring off in head-to-head battles for true gymnastics supremacy of USA versus the WORLD. Allie impressively had a perfect score in the contest, predicting the exact result for each of the seven events!
Get to know this year's contest winner, Allie Palmer:
Tell us about yourself: Hi! A little background about me, I just turned 16, I have a twin sister and love to have fun and can be really crazy!
Hometown: I live in Baldwin, NY a suburb of NYC
Years in Gymnastics: I've been doing gymnastics for about 5-6 years now. I don't compete gymnastics due to the cost and gymnastics is my second sport, behind softball, but I train level 5-6 skills.
Favorite Gymnast: At the moment, my favorite gymnast is Victoria Moors from Canada, I saw her compete live at the 2012 American Cup and just started loving her gymnastics, especially her power and artistry on floor!

Favorite Moment from the PCG: While I watched the PGC, I really liked Tony Ramos' 15 second inverted cross! That was insane, I still can't believe he was able to pull it off!

What you're most excited for in your visit to IGC: I'm most excited for the whole experience! I've wanted to go to IGC for so long and I can't wait to learn new skills, make new friends, and bring what I learn at camp back home to New York!
