Also competing in the morning were our U10 gymnasts, James Knott competed at the regional level and after another clean and competent performance took home the silver medal and excellent result for James. In the National level competition Oliver Porter took home 2nd place, after a mistake on the high bar he picked himself up and showed 5 strong routines. Jamaal Kashim finished 7th he had a strong comp but a fall on pommel unfortunately costing him a top 6 place. Tristan Lamble finished 13th with a few small errors in an otherwise good performance. In the afternoon session it was the turn of our U12, U14 and U16 gymnasts.

Christian Fuoco took home the sliver medal after a strong performance, and team mate Rudi Moriano finished 4th again he performed very well.

On the 17th June an International competition was held in Guimaraes Portugal for the very first time. Jamie Lewis was competing for Great Britain in the Under 18 Junior competition. Jamie performed extremely well finishing in 1st place scoring 79.5 and helping Great Britain win the Team Gold over 8 marks ahead of 2nd placed Sweden. Jamie also qualified for 5 finals. On the 18th June Jamie had a great day in the apparatus Finals. Jamie came 1st on Floor, Rings and High Bar and 2nd on Pommels and Parallel Bars. It was a very positive weekend and with the European Youth Olympic Festival only 5 weeks away it was great preparation. Congratulations to all of our floor and vault competition group that competed in the Surrey Key steps Competition on Sunday 11th June. Considering that for most of the gymnasts this was their first regional competition they all did exceptionally well without letting nerves get the better of them. In Round 1 Woking was very successful with all the boys remembering their routines and completing their vault to the best of their ability. All the boys finished with a medal with particular mention to Finley Geaney, Sam Polcaro and Archie Sturt who all came away with Gold medals. Round 2 saw our key steps girls and one boy compete. They all did extremely well and all their practise in the gym paid off for all the gymnasts. The girls all performed their routines beautifully with nearly no wobbles and a very excited Ethan completed both his floor and vault without a hitch. Everyone who competed in this round placed in the top 5 of their category and a special mention to Charlotte Stedman, Ethan Laurent and Aurora Gray-Pearson who all received gold medals. Woking’s team of 12 gymnasts enjoyed a very successful morning, winning a total of 6 golds, 3 silvers, and 1 bronze medal. Well done to all gymnasts who competed!

Well done to all the boys who competed over the weekend. Congratulations to our floor and vault gymnasts that competed in the Tumble and Trampette competition on the 11th June 2017. Round 1 of the competition was busy with a total of 11 gymnasts competing. Although tumble and trampette aren’t the regular pieces our gymnasts tend to compete in all the gymnasts competed with confidence. After successfully competing their two different tumbles and two different trampette jumps the coaches and gymnasts were all pleased with the competition and awaited results. With lots of gymnasts across the region competing and a couple of wobbles the competition was tough and the gymnasts all did really well. A special mention was to Tegan Fookes who finished with a gold medal. Round 2 saw even more gymnasts competing and again although the gymnasts aren’t too used to competing a tumble and trampette jumps, they all competed with poise and elegance. All gymnasts competed to the best of their ability with ease, and all came away with a medal. A very successful round of competition for Woking, with mention to Esme Finch, Frederick Mushrafi, Josh Lines and Archie Johnson who all came away with gold medals. Woking’s team of 25 gymnasts performed very well and resulted in Woking receiving 5 gold medals, 8 silver medals and 5 bronze medals! Well done to all those who competed! |
