27 ~ Excellent Easter Results for the Regent Gymnasts

A record number of gymnasts competed at the Regent Gymnastics Easter Club Championships last weekend at For Regent with nine year old Wilson Ibbet being crowned champion after receiving the highest overall score of the day. Eighty six gymnasts both girls and boys competed with the youngest competitor just 4 ½ years old. The gymnasts were split into various groups according to their age and ability and competed on five pieces of apparatus. The gymnasts performed well executed and powerful vaults with various progressions from the basis Squat On through to some dynamic handsprings. On the Bars the gymnasts had to show their strength and control on the various skills they performed. The Trampette displayed a range of energetic jumps and high aerial somersaults. On floor some gymnast’s demonstrated tumbling sequences whilst others performed a voluntary routine consisting of acrobatic skills, together with leaps and jumps which were performed with good posture throughout. The range and conditioning routine was toughest for the gymnasts and they had to show both their strength, flexibility whilst maintaining control throughout. At the close of the competition all participating gymnasts were presented with an Easter egg and a participation medal and the overall scores where announced. The overall trophy was won by nine year old Wilson Ibbet (pictured right) with a score of 46.40 only 0.10 of a mark ahead of eight year old Kiah Kuppe who finished in silver position with a score of 46.3 and the bronze medal was won by eight old Sophie Le Boutillier with her score of 45.70. A creditable performance by all the gymnasts and all three of overall winners scored over 9.00 marks on four pieces of apparatus.
