FROME’S Evolution Trampoline Club attended the first British qualifier for the Federation Internationale De Gymnastique (FIG) since 2019.
The club took five performers, three of whom were performing for the first time at this level. The club say that 15-16 male, David Knowles, showed his true class to win his double-mini trampoline (DMT) category and the European trial by three whole marks, and nine on cumulative scores.
Following in David’s footsteps, newcomer and Selwood pupil, Izzie Hunt, came back from a fall in the first round to take the gold in the 11-12 girls DMT event as well, with two good, clean routines on the trampoline.
The club say that Freya Allen and Connor Remedios had brilliant first comps at this level, both making a final on DMT and two clean routines on trampoline. Teigan Higgs also performed two great routines in the disability section to take fifth place.
Coaches Sarah Hunt and Mike Selmes said, “We are so proud of how the performers handled themselves and how they performed, we are looking forward to an exciting season.”
