What an amazing weekend we had at the National Series Super Championship in the National Arena. A total of 23 gymnasts from the Club qualified for the Competition from performances in March and May of this year. The top 8 in the country were then selected to compete in each apparatus in their level and age in the National Championship.
All of the girls have been training over the summer holidays for this and their committment is commendable. To compete at the levels some of our gymnasts are now at requires, not just hard work, but also huge dedication on the part of the gymnasts, the coaches, the parents to get them to training and competitions and the volunteers who help out all year as well as at the competitions.
Their performances over the weekend were simply outstanding and we are so proud of each one of them – Tara, Jenny, Judy, Orlaith, Nicola, Aoife, Aimee, Barbara, Caitlin, Áine, Gráinne, Clíodhna, Eleanor, Sive, Niamh, Isla, Ericka, Mya, Aoibhinn, Keela, Kate, Mia and Ciara. The girls home a total of 29 medals, this is truly amazing, 2 years ago we had 2 gymnasts qualifying for this competition, they brought home a gold a silver on the day!
Special thanks to Elisha, Eimear, Aoife and Saoirse for all the hours they spend coaching these girls, they are not just coaches though, they encourage, motivate and inspire them to be the best they can be and to always believe in themselves, of course they have a lot of fun along the way too! They are an amazing team!
