Gymnasts impresses yet again
This follows after successfully qualifying for the Regional and Provincial Gym Games which was held earlier this year.
After successfully qualifying for the Regional and Provincial Gym Games which were held earlier this year, a total of 20 gymnasts from Impala Gymnastics Club exceeded expectations when they competed in the SA Gym Games.
This follows after these gymnasts managed to obtain their full Central Gauteng Colours.
The club is especially proud of five young girls who impressed the judges during two of the competitions.
At the regional competition, Vignette Janse van Vuuren was awarded a gold medal for her vault and Keryn Kuret Coetzer a bronze medal for her bar and vault. She finished in third place overall. Both girls competed in the Level 4 section.

At the provincial competition, Janey Cochrane received a bronze medal for her bar and vault and finished in third place overall in Level 7 section.
Tianette Wessels received a gold medal for her vault, silver for beam and finished overall third in the Level 5 section.
Mariné Lombaard subsequently ended the club’s achievements on a high note when she received a silver medal for bar and bronze for vault. She was also placed third overall in the Level 4 section.
The coaches, who were selected to accompany their gymnasts at these competitions, are thrilled with this year’s achievements of the senior gymnasts. They now look forward to an even bigger contingent of gymnasts in 2018 as many of the junior gymnasts will move up a level in the new year.
