Manx Gymnastics Centre of Excellence’s Maddie Wood has finished second overall in the FIG Junior Development competition, securing a place at the Junior British Championships in March.

Maddie competed alongside clubmate Rebecca Kheir at National FIG Development 2 & 3 and Junior Development, held at Fenton Manor, Stoke-on-Trent at the weekend.

Rebecca competed in FIG Development 2, making her first appearance at a national final.

The silver-medal result marked a successful conclusion to Maddie’s Excel pathway programme, bringing that stage of her gymnastics development to a close.

Rebecca produced some beautiful gymnastics and positive moments on her national-final debut.

The experience provided valuable learning and plenty to build on as she continues to develop.

A spokesperson for the Glencrutchery Road club congratulated both gymnasts on their performances and coach Amanda Keiting and the wider coaching team for their support.
