Gold rush at Welsh championships
WESTON Aerobic Gymnastics Club was out in force at the Welsh Championships, held at the Institute of Wales, in Cardiff.
With a squad of 39 gymnasts and some competing for the first time, nerves had to be controlled and focus maintained.
The RAC gymnasts started the weekend off in fine style, with a clutch of gold medals. First on the floor for the club was Rachel Anderson, who won the club a gold medal in the foundation section, followed by Taylor Drewer, who won another gold.
In the group one section, Courtney Hewwett sparkled her way to the gold medal, with Lauryn Granger in equal second place, but dropping to bronze with the execution scores.
Lauryn then paired up with Katie Edwards to win the pairs. Bayley Whitehead and Ffion Dando finished the day for the RAC gymnasts with another gold. All the RAC gymnasts looked beautiful in their new leotards and should be rightly pleased with their results.
Next up was the delightful Isi Vicicevic competing at national level in the age 10-11 section. She went out with lovely execution and should be delighted with her silver medal.
