Layla, competed in some top level competitions recently, here is a report of her achievements recently:

 I competed as an elite gymnast in the following FIG Aspire level competitions:

• Star Cup (national competition in Leicester) - 1st (Gold) All Around, 1st (Gold) in Bars, 1st (Gold) Floor and 1st (Gold) Vault.
• Emmanuel Cup (national competition in Leicester) – 2nd (Silver) All Around, 2nd (Silver) in Bars plus special Judges Award for Vault.
• Tolworth Club Championships – 2nd (Silver) All Around

I am pleased with my results so far because this is my first year competing as a FIG Aspire elite gymnast after successfully completing all my British Gymnastics elite pathway grades last year. I also competed against mostly older and more experienced gymnasts including GB squad gymnasts.

My next national competitions will be two of the most prestigious gymnastics competitions in the UK being the British Championships and English Championships. I am really looking forward to the experience, after all it has taken me three years to qualify for the British Championships which will be also attended by Olympic champions! Although, I have recently sprained my finger in training I am still recovering and very determined to compete.

This is amazing Layla, well done from us all here at WHS!
