This weekend we saw Cairon, Archie and Jacob competing at this year's Men's Artistic Welsh Championships.
In the MAG Welsh U10s Archie came 7th overall and Cairon came 8th overall This is essentially their first big competition and they both did amazing! Archie even came away with 3rd place on Vault
In the MAG Welsh U16s we saw Jacob compete. Unfortunately his competition didn't go according to plan, however it was still a good run through for him, as he can now work even harder back in the gym in preparation for the British in 3 weeks time.
Jacob still came away with a fair few medals including 3rd Overall and the title of the Welsh U16 Vault Champion! Well done Boys!!!

Then to put the icing on the cake, the girls went to Deeside on Friday and brought home a whole host of medals!
It goes without saying how immensely proud we are of Jacob and all of our gymnasts.
Hard work and determination have paid off ,and each these achievements are thoroughly deserved.
We would also like to take this opportunity to once again thank all of our coaches, volunteers, sports leaders, fundraising committee and parents for their ongoing support of Olympus Gymnastics Club.
Without you all, the club wouldn’t exist – and your commitment is truly appreciated.
Looking forward to seeing what else is ahead of Olympus and all of our gymnasts in the coming years.
Julie, Paul, Marco and Michelle
