The 35th annual Rushmoor Rosebowl competition took place over the weekend with several British national squad gymnasts taking part representing various teams. From the senior squad, Kelly Simm, Georgia Mae Fenton, Phoebe Turner and Tyesha Mattis competed for Great Britain. They were joined by junior squad member Zoe Simmons in for fellow junior squad member Megan Parker after she stubbed her finger in training. Other British junior squad members in action were Amelia Knight competing for the South West Region, and Chiara Bunce competing for her home club Heathrow. From the British development squad, Mercedes Moore and Leah Greenland competing for their club South Durham.
Along with the British squad gymnasts, gymnasts competing for England, for their regions, and their clubs, joined by guests from Canada, Spain, and Holland.

Overall Results
Great Britain took the overall team title by over ten points, ahead of Alberta A in second, and Heathrow in third. Kelly Simm although not at her absolute best understandably after the huge push toward Rio and a little down time after still comfortably took the AA title, including debuting a new floor. Georgia took silver, and Alberta’s Emma Guthrie the bronze.
It was also great to welcome back Tyesha Mattis back to competition after a long absence. Lets hope this was the beginnings of a long healthy period of gymnastics for her, and an opportunity to fulfil that enormous potential.

Rosebowl Regional
In the regional event Canadian team Alberta A took the title with the South West taking silver, and Alberta B taking the bronze. The Alberta gymnasts also filled the top three spots in this category.
I would also like to take this opportunity to wish The South West team’s April Maslen a very happy retirement from competitive gymnastics. Thankfully not from gymnastics for good though, April who has for so long been a fantastic gymnast both internationally and for The Academy, is now moving into coaching.

Apparatus Finals
Sunday was apparatus finals day, for this all gymnasts from all categories and all ages compete against each other. Great Britain swept the titles, with Kelly taking vault followed by Emma Guthrie of Alberta, with GB team mate Phoebe Turner taking bronze. Bars was a 1,2,3 for Great Britain, Kelly, Georgia, and Tyesha respectively. Georgia took beam, followed by juniors Chiara Bunce, and England’s Jessica Daykin sharing sliver, so great work from them. Finally Phoebe Turner took the floor title to finish a great day for the British team, the Canadian team took another two medals with Kyra Carto and Jaden Gorsline taking sliver and bronze.
