Sussex Tumble Report
Since the AGM back in May Tumble have held their Inter County Qualifier, which was on Sunday 6th July at Hollington Gymnastics Club. This competition was attended by Bevendean, Be Gymnastics, Hollington, 1066 Gym and Sky High. Unfortunately Dyson were not able to attend this year due to other commitments. It was nice to have a new club join us and for them also to take home medals as well as some qualification places. We are hoping to see 1066 attending more tumble competitions in the future. From the 83 gymnasts that took part – 60 have managed to qualify to the final, which is being held at Jumpers Rebound Centre, Gillingham, Kent on Sunday 16th November.
Last weekend (12th & 13th July) saw the regional level tumblers competing at the IRCC (Inter Regional Challenge Cup) finals in Birmingham. We had 7 gymnasts from Dyson, 7 gymnasts from Hollington and 1 from Be Gymnastics all representing the South East. The weekend was a great success with Dyson winning 5 medals, Hollington winning 3 medals and Be Gymnastics just missing out on a medal by 0.1 of a mark. We were also lucky to have 3 coaches from Sussex and a Judge from Be Gymnastics all representing the South East this year.
English Championships at end of May, was again another successful year for our Sussex clubs with Dyson, Sky High and Hollington all having gymnasts qualify for this competition at Silver level, with Hollington also gaining a gymnast qualifier at Gold level. Dyson walked away with 3 medals over the weekend, Hollington gained 2 medals. Well done to all gymnasts and coaches.
A gymnast from Hollington has this year qualified through to the FIG National Age Group finals being held in October in Telford.
