We had a fantastic weekend of gymnastics at the National Indoor Arena with gymnasts competing across many levels. The weekend really showcased how the sport has grown in Ireland over the past few years with over 2,000 competitors taking part across all gymnastics disciplines. It is incredibly entertaining to watch the skill and performances from all the gymnasts and to see that Athlone is well represented on the National stage.
Huge Congratulations to all our gymnasts who competed, putting in amazing performances, we are so proud of them and what they have achieved with our Club.
Massive well done to our medal winners :-
Alannah – Gold in her very first National Series Competition
Laoise – Silver on Vault
Mya – Bronze on Floor
Sport is not just about the medals, the hard work and commitment that goes into training and the friendships made along the way are a huge part of it.
Many of the age groups had huge numbers competing and some of our gymnasts narrowly missed out on a podium place by the finest of margins – Aoibhinn was extremely unlucky not to place on Vault with an excellent score, Laoise was also very unfortunate not to medal on Floor or in the All around competition, she came really close with super scores for her routines. Kate performed her Yurchenko Vault for the first time at a Competition and the first time for an Athlone gymnast to perform it, requiring nerves of steel to execute it!
Well done to all the gymnasts – Aden, Alannah, Aoibhinn, Isla, Kate, Laoise, Mya and Sarah, we are so proud of you.
