questions

What age did you start gymnastics?

Age 4. My mum put me into gymnastics to burn off some energy and because I was always rolling around and upside down on the furniture

What do you enjoy about gymnastics?

I love the feeling of learning a new skill, the way it feels in the air and the sense of achievement for doing it. I love the opportunities it has given me to travel and meet so many new people.

What is hardest part of gymnastics?

Training when you just don't feel like it, or you're struggling with a certain skill. You really have to push yourself to get over your fears and put full effort into every session.
