15 year old, New Zealand gymnast given the opportunity to train at an Olympic level gymnastics facility in Michigan USA
Bay of Plenty
I have been invited to train at Twistars USA Gymnastics Club Michigan, with coach John Geddert, head coach of the 2012 USA gymnastics team that won gold at the London Olympics . John was also the coach of Jordyn Wieber world all-around champion.
Gymnastics has been part of my life for the last 12 years and I have been competing for 8 of them.
As a senior gymnast, I train 16 hours a week at ARGOS Gymsport in Tauranga. Having already earned 2 silver medals at the National Championships, I am now hoping that with all the knowledge and new skills I learn on my trip I can come back and win gold for my region.
We are currently fundraising on many levels. With car washes, sausage sizzles, movie nights and cake stalls. But with the trip costing thousands I would really love to completely fund this myself with out relying on my parents.
