Savannah having come 13th last year with a score of 44.30, won this year's event with her best ever score of 49.60 a huge achievement for her. Alex who came 6th last year also broke into the medals winning the bronze. Rebekah, competing in her 1st National Competition also had a good day & finished in 11th place.

The twins also scooped a haul of Individual Apparatus madals with Savannah winning Bars, & Floor & the bronze on Beam. Alex took silver on Vault & the bronze on Bars & Floor.

British Espoir Championships

This competition also took place at Gloucester on Saturday. Heathrow's 2 gymnasts had mixed fortunes, Laura Mitchell who was widely expected to be in the top 3 had a noghtmare day & finished in 9th place, though she did make Bars & Beam Finals, so she is hoping for a better result then!
Loriah James competing in her 1st year as an Espoir fared better & finished in 15th place & was delighted to find herself in the Floor Final.
