TWO youngsters from Olicana Gymnastics Club won gold medals at The Middlesbrough Acrobatics Cup in Hartlepool. Florence Cornish, 16, and Olivia Leonard, 11, beat 21 other pairs from Scotland, North East and Yorkshire to win first place at Grade 4.

Olicana Gymnastics Club is a recreational gym club and only started competitive acrobatics last month so are thrilled with the results.

Pippa Smith from Burley in Wharfedale trains 14 hours per week at Harrogate Gymnastics Club. She won a bronze medal on Beam at the Pink Ladies Invitational Gymnastics competition in South Durham.

But the most exciting part of the weekend was having her picture taken with Olympic gymnast Amy Tinkler.
