Hundreds of gymnasts, including 2022 Commonwealth Games medallists Kate McDonald and Breanna Scott, are headed to Geelong this weekend for the Senior Victorian Championships.
Just under 500 gymnasts from 60 clubs will be vying for positions on the state team in this final qualifying event.
Across the three days of competition, the event will host a plethora of gymnastics action including Women’s Artistic Gymnastics (WAG), Men’s Artistic Gymnastics (MAG), Acrobatic Gymnastics (ACRO), Trampoline Gymnastics (TRP), and Special Olympics (SO).
Geelong has played host to the Senior Victorian Championships since 2009 and has recently progressed through the process to be announced as the home of gymnastics for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Australia.
Gymnastics Victoria CEO Robin O’Neill expressed his delight to see Geelong once again showcase the state’s abundant pool of talent from a variety of gymsports.
“On behalf of Gymnastics Victoria, we are extremely thrilled to see this key event in the gymnastics calendar return to even bigger and better capacity,” O’Neill said.
“This weekend’s event marks a pivotal step for our competitive athletes, and I eagerly look forward to seeing the joy on their faces as they celebrate their performances across the three days of competition.”
The competition is on Friday March 31 to Sunday April 2 at Geelong Arena with the full schedule available at vic.gymnastics.org.au/VIC/Events/2023_Victorian_Championships_Events.aspx
