Her routine combines confident acrobatics with a challenging mix of skills, including a back handspring-layout step-out, back tuck, aerial, and round-off 1.5 dismount. Looking ahead, Chara Lenis has exciting upgrades in the works that could add even more difficulty to her beam routine. A switch leap to switch leap to straddle jump, back handspring-layout with a two-foot landing, Barani to split jump, and back handspring-back handspring-layout are among the skills she’s been developing. With a strong foundation already in place and potential upgrades on the horizon, Chara Lenis is one to watch as she looks to build on last season’s success and continue raising the bar on beam.

On floor, she’s training skills like full-ins, sky-high double pikes, and front double twist. Floor and beam seem to be her specialty, and she looks ready for a competition up against the big dogs.
