Here are some thoughts from our gymnasts after they competed in the Level 4 Regional Finals - their first major competition:

Chantelle – “It was very hard and we didn’t know whether we were going to pass. I was pleased with my floor but not too pleased on bars because I thought I could have been tighter. I was very pleased at the end because I got a bronze medal.”

Sophie – “I felt very nervous for beam and range. I really enjoyed doing vault and floor. I wasn’t impressed with my beam but I was happy at the end because I passed and I get to go to the National Finals.”
