UK-Japan News November 2015

A delegation of three top gymnasts has been awarded medals at the 2015 International Junior Gymnastics Competition in Yokohama, the Birmingham Mail reported on 21 October.

In the apparatus finals, Giarnni Regini-Moran won gold on the floor and vault, and took bronze on the parallel bars. Meanwhile, in the all round competition, Joe Fraser finished fourth overall.

According to City of Birmingham and Great Britain coach Lee Woolls, “Standing shoulder to shoulder with the best gymnasts from Japan, China, the US and Russia—to name a few—gives us a great insight as to where out gymnasts are in terms of ability and competition readiness at this level”.
