A Shipston gymnastics academy is celebrating success at a regional competition.

Peacock Gymnastics Academy secured lots of silverware at the IGA South Regional "Levels" Championships on the weekend of October 12 and 13.

Fresh from their triumph at the April National 2024 GEMS Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Finals, nine gymnasts from Peacock represented the academy in the important qualifying competition.

The event, hosted by the Independent Gymnastics Association, saw over 200 participants from 27 clubs across southern England.

Parents and supporters travelled from as far as Brighton, Cambridge, Jersey, London, and Bristol to cheer on the gymnasts as they competed in four disciplines: bars, beam, floor, and vault.

The overall All-Around winner in each category was named Regional 2024 "Levels" Champion.

The top six competitors in each category earned a spot at the National competition on Friday 8 and Saturday, November 9.

Peacock enjoyed a successful day, with gymnasts earning medals across all apparatus.

The hard work of coaches and gymnasts was evident as one gymnast was crowned All-Around Regional Champion, and Ella Henshaw, Molly Stone and Victoria Rant, all aged 10, qualified for the Nationals.
