Tumbling National Qualifier
Five members of Spelthorne Gymnastics have qualified to the NDP National Finals in Stoke-on-Trent in May.
Our tumbling team travelled to Hastings on Sunday 12th February for the South East Region 2012 Tumbling National Qualifier. For most of the gymnasts it was only their second season at this discipline; for some their first tumbling competition.
We achieved five Gold medals, four Silvers and one Bronze – fantastic!
Representing the South East Region at the National Finals will be Oliver Baines, Vanessa Lima, Oliver Coombs, Finlay Gray and Jamie Morris.
Well done to all the gymnasts who travelled on a cold, snowy day to take part in this important competition. Particular mention goes to Chris Tierney who achieved joint first place but lost out on a tie-break rule, and to Poppy Dennett and Savhanna Barrett who faced strong opposition and were so close to qualifying with fantastic silver medals!
