Gold for a Yr9 Gymnast

Posted on 17 Jul, 2024 in About GMS, Events, Extra Curricular, General News, Key Stage 3, Sports, Trips
One of our Year 9 talented gymnasts, Erin Lipscomb, was fortunate to travel to Orlando for the World Championships, organised by the International Association of Independent Gymnasts (IAI) and United States Association of Independent Gymnastics Clubs (USAIGC).
Erin has been exceptional in her approach to her gymnastics and school commitments, exhibiting the GMS’s 6Rs in abundance.
Just recently, she achieved two World Championship Golds, at two levels for her age category, 13.5 yrs to 18.5yrs, a mighty significant achievement: congratulations Erin.
In the event that took place from the 24th June to 5th July:
  • Erin competed at the Bronze level in the 4-piece event: uneven bars, beam, floor and vault. In her qualifying session, Erin achieved Gold overall in her age category.
  • Erin qualified for the Bronze final, to be held the next day. This 2-piece event: vault and uneven bars, saw Erin narrowly miss out on qualifying for the final for floor and beam.

In the Bronze final Erin achieved 6th place in vault, and Gold (World Champion) for uneven bars.

The following day there was an upgrade to Diamond Level. In this event, Erin achieved Gold for her performance on the uneven bars, this translated to her winning Gold (World Champion) in her age category.

Erin has chosen PE as one of her GCSE subjects, there is a sense she may shine in this GCSE option.
GMS thanks Mr Lipscomb for this information, which is wonderful news to publish at the end of this academic year.
