Local trampolinist soars to victory
Talented trampolinist from the 24Seven Gymnastics and Trampoline crowned SA Cup champion in Euro Level 8.
Emma Knop (13), a talented athlete from 24 Seven Gymnastics and Trampoline, has made a significant mark in the world of trampoline by being crowned the South African champion in the Euro Level 8 category.
The SA Cup championships took place on May 3 at Groenkloof, Pretoria, where Emma and other finalists battled it out for the top spot.
“This is my first time winning such a big title, and I’m very excited and grateful for the support I have received. I didn’t expect that I was going to win because after competing, I had health problems and had to go home. I was only told after that I had emerged victorious out of the other three finalists,” she said.
This impressive win is a testament to Emma’s dedication and hard work, having started trampolining just three years ago.

Her rapid rise to success is a notable achievement, especially after placing second in the same competition last year in Cape Town, which secured her spot in the finals this year.
Luitha Roux, the coach for 24 Seven, expressed her extreme pride in Emma, stating that it was a well-deserved win.
