It’s Infinity and beyond for Southwater gymnastics club

Overall the club came back with three gold and two bronze medals from the championships, held at K2 Leisure Centre in Crawley on Saturday October 5 - smashing last year’s haul of two silver medals.

Infinity had ten partnerships competing, with Natalya Fisher and Molly Butler winning the Grade 3 Women’s Pair category and winning the trophy for the highest Grade 3 score.

This pair competed two routines and showed great maturity to hold their nerve, especially in their dynamic routine where they achieved a huge 26.200 to win by over 1½ marks.

The club’s Grade 2 Men’s pair Toby Parrott and Ed Lanning and the Grade 1 Men’s Pair, Adam Khan and Zak Parrott also won their categories, which is a new level of competition for these gymnasts for this year.

Infinity had four Grade 1 Women’s Pairs with Olivia Lewin and Sophie Geal being awarded the bronze medal, Zoe Eatwell and Stacey Cooper took fourth place, Katherine Fellingham and Lilly Knight were seventh and Katy Wort and Zhiwei Sanchez-Ral eighth.

Chloe Brailey, Charlotte Wright and Jazmine Fitzpatrick won an excellent bronze medal in the Grade 2 Women’s groups category with Charleigh Lacey, Rebecca Waller and Bethany Mason in fifth.

Finally Sophia Morris, Mia Bilbeisi and Mae Cunnington in fifth place in Grade 1 women’s groups. Infinity’s acro squad are going from strength to strength and look forward to the Regional Championships in December.

Infinity is a relatively new club to the area, but has more than 250 members.

Head coach Kirstine Dawson said: “I am really proud of all the gymnasts who competed.

They train for less than half the hours most other clubs train and therefore they have shown their dedication and talent with the achievements all the gymnasts made.

“Without the enthusiasm of all the coaches and the gymnasts, these results would not have been possible. This will give them the drive and belief to try and reach even better results in the future.”
