Representing New Zealand at the World University Games

Kia Ora All!

My name is Max, and I've had the honour of being selected to represent NZ at the FISU World University Games for Men's Artistic Gymnastics. This is one of the biggest multi-sport events in the world, bringing athletes from 150 countries together for a 2 week event, held throughout Germany.

As a gymnast since age 7, I've dedicated upwards of 15 years of my life to the sport, and I am beyond proud to have reached the milestone of my first Senior International debut for New Zealand. After retiring as a Junior International gymnast in 2019, I didn't think I'd ever come back to the sport, let alone make it back to any kind of international level, so this marks a massive achievement in my life, one that motivates me to train hard to make NZ proud.

As a full time post-grad design student, worker, and athlete who trains 20 hours a week, any donations are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time, and thank you to my family, coaches, teammates, and friends for their unwavering support. I look forward to July and being able to represent NZ on the world stage!
