Playground Gymnastics Pic Wins Our 'Be An Olympian' Contest

Olivia Pereira's "balance beam" routine scored the most support from Patch readers.


Just like with the Olympic athletes who make it to world stage, each of the 10 finalists in our "" photo contest deserves a round of applause. From karate kicks and dog tricks to bike jumps and playground stunts, the talents captured on camera were varied and very cool.

But, of course, there can be only one winner, only one Gold medalist.

And after , the clear winner of our contest is Olivia Pereira. The 7-year-old's impromptu playground gymastics caught on camera in the midst of a "balance beam" routine captured Patch readers attention — and votes — and catapulted her to the winner's circle.
