As part of the qualification process, both gymnasts had to perform a range and conditioning routine to demonstrate their flexibility and strength. Both gymnasts excelled, with Zara scoring 88% and Maddie an impressive 96%.

Head coach Mike Gevaux said: “It was a fantastic result for both girls. They have worked hard in training and deserve this.

“Zara is on her way to repeating her success from last year as she made the SE squad. They are both superb role models for the rest of the squad and are performing better than they were at this time last year.”

Hollington DMT has spaces for potential competitive squad members in both DMT and trampoline at the gym. For more details, please call Mike on 07905 019357.
