SALTO pairs perform stunning routines at Championships
SALTO’s acrobatic gymnasts were involved in two big competitions recently, both held at Fenton Manor in Stoke on Trent at the British Acrobatic Championships.
First up was the FIG 12-18 pair of Ellie and Jessica, who were competing for the first time in 18 months.

Two pairs were representing the East Region and competing against groups representing all the other national regional squads.
Clearly standards at National Finals were high, as next up SALTO had the NDP National Finals, both of the club pairs having to qualify for this competition back in September and went to the competition representing the East Region.
Lillian and Evie competed at Grade 4, a tough group, but after a near spotless performance the girls ended in fifth place from 10 regional groups, as less than 0.5 marks separated themselves and the pair who took gold.
