Luke Price and Lowri Thomas competed confidently against strong competition to become the Mixed Pairs British Champions at their first attempt at British International level. After taking the Bronze medal last year Sophie Bevan, Katie Jenkins and Mari Davies improved on their past achievements by taking home the silver in the large International Women’s groups category with 2 great performances. Lauren Daniel and Bronwen Maine kept up their consistency of excellent performances by making the British Finals for a third time in a row. Emily Gazzi, Lowri Evans and Rhiannon Maine came agonisingly close to the Bronze medal missing out by just 0.25, which is really encouraging for this new partnership.

Another new partnership Lia Richards and Jessica Morris performed a beautiful Balance routine and will be ones to watch for the near future.

The day was very busy for the 4 gymnasts who all competed in the artistic and acrobatic disciplines which all took place between 9am and 12pm on the day.

The Acro pairs section was the first discipline of the day for the gymnasts which was dominated by Lisa Price and Claire Warren who defended their title from last year with 1.5 marks to spare. Lisa Thomas and Sophie John performed a very clean floor and came 4th narrowly missing out on the bronze medal. The Acro trios was next where there was another title to defend from last year and Lisa Thomas, Lisa Price and Claire Warren this year upped their difficulty and performed a pitch double back somersault to open their routine and went on to win the Gold medal by over a whole mark.

Next up was the artistic Gymnastics section where Lisa Thomas took the silver medal in the over 19 beginners artistic category and also achieved the highest score on the floor. Lisa Price and Claire Warren battled it out in the over 30′s intermediate category and took 2nd and 3rd position respectively with Lisa scoring the highest mark of their category on the vault.

NDP team

Grade 3 Mixed Pair Luke Price & Emily Stock, and Grade 1 trio Heather Carter, Lauren Daniel & Bronwen Maine performed fantastic routines and jointly scored the highest mark of the day out of all of the NDP competitors!! And both took GOLD medals in their category’s!

A great contribution was made by one of our newest partnership’s Sophie Bevan, Katie Jenkins and Mari Davies who scored the highest balance NDP score of the day to take home the gold medal in the Grade 3 Team.

Lia Richards, Charlotte Thomas and Rhiannon Maine took GOLD in both of their routines, and were the only Welsh gymnasts to perform both of their routines (Balance and Dynamic) bringing an excellent contribution to the team.

Lowri Evans and Zoe Jones were the last Welsh performers of the day and performed a new routine with great confidence to take team Silver at the Grade 2 category.

Once again thank you to the support of the parents, and especially the coaches who have worked so hard to achieve the success of the gymnasts at this International.
