Caitlin’s highlight last year was placed highest of any African competitor at the World Gymnastics Championships in Qatar.
Caitlin sat out of many events during 2017 due to a serious knee injury but made an exceptional comeback last year. After not being selected for the Commonwealth Games team due to her injury, Caitlin persevered and became Senior National Champion for 2018.
