On Saturday 1st March, Ravenscraig Sports Centre in North Lanarkshire hosted the Scottish Gymnastic Championships and our very own Taylor Stirling (P5A) was there to participate in the Acrobatic Section of the competition.
Acrobatic Gymnastics includes partnership work on the floor. This discipline is both physically and psychologically demanding. It involves gymnasts working closely together, building up trust and responsibility for each other and developing skills in balance and dynamic elements. Acrobatic Gymnastics combines the skill and activity of the gymnast, expressive movement and artistry of a dancer and the courage and excitement of the acrobat.
Although Taylor was extremely nervous about the competition on Friday, he put all his worries to one side to out-perform all the other athletes and along with his partner, topped the table for the second year running and walked away with the Gold Medal!
This is a tremendous achievement and we are all extremely proud of Taylor – Scottish Acrobatic Champion 2014.
