SEA gymnasts from Hope Acro were competing in Blaenau Ffestiniog, Wales, at the weekend at the Moelwyn International Acro Cup. Clubs from England and Wales competed with a visiting club from Estonia.
Holly (10H) and Emma (7B) won the gold medal in the FIG 11-16 Women's Group with their trio. They also won an award for the highest FIG score of the weekend.
Mia (10M) and Ava (8S) had to deal with an injury to their partner days before the competition so had to move to the FIG 11-16 Women's Pairs. They had to adapt their routine but still managed to win gold.
Isobel (8H) competed in the Grade 4 Women's Pair and after placing 2nd in the opening round, overturned the deficit and won the gold after the final round.
Isla (7B) competed for the first time as a 'base' with Holly's younger sister Libby and won silver in the Grade 3 Women's Pairs.
