Full report to follow, for now, detailed results from today’s senior AA competition. Congratulations go to Ellie Downie of Notts, without question the strongest gymnast in the field, and the strongest AA British gymnast at present.

Joint silver for the two strongest juniors from 2016 Alice Kinsella of Park Wrekin, and Maisie Methuen of Phoenix, great to see these young ladies transition so well into the senior ranks, and a lot to look forward to from them.
