Bexhill Observer (04/12/09): Gymnasts Head Over Heels With Success
Two Team Gym squads from them the 1066 Gymnastics Academy travelled to the K2 Leisure Centre in Crawley for the 2009 South East Team Gym Championships.
The club's regional level 2 women's team consisted of Ellie and Laura Whiting, Selena Geogiou-Paton, Charlotte Whittaker, Jasmine Clarke, Lucy Burton, Danielle Sands and Gemma Morgan. They were joined by the debut of the national level 2 men's squad featuring Michael Varnham, Samuel Hammond, Matthew Collins, Jack Cooper, Daniel Dinsdale, Kasbian Rogers and Nicholas Krystahl.
All of the competing gymnasts are aged between twelve and fiften years and demonstrated an excellent level of ability.
The boys led the club's effort with tumble as their first piece. They performed well and linked somersaults, one gymnast after the other, very smoothly. They incurred just one small error and scored 5.800. The girls squad then followed with their three runs on the tumble track. They suffered four unfortunate errors but finished with a respectable 5.900.
The second piece for both teams was trampette. The boys enjoyed a very smooth round which included double rotations over the vault. They scored a strong 6.200. The girls followed them into the arena and competed very well for a score of 6.850.
The final piece for the both teams was the floor exercise, which sees all members in a team perform on the floor together. The boys were first on and unveiled their anticipated routine which earned them a score of 4.800. The girls then followed with their previously performed and polished routine which scored 6.350.
The boys finished with a total score of 16.800 and second place in the region. They also finished second in the open competition. The girls squad finished their day with a total of 19.100 and fourth place in the region and sixth place in the open event.
