Parents

David & Yoan compete at Junior European Gymnastics Championships

Congratulations to Year 11 students David.I & Yoan.I, who recently represented Bulgaria at the Junior European Gymnastics Championships in Rimini, Italy.

Both of our students performed exceptionally well, competing in the 6 apparatuses; floor exercise, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars and high bar. 

David secured the Silver Medal in the individual Pommel Horse event & finished 6th in the All-Around competition. Yoan also competed to a very high standard, narrowly missing out on qualifying for the final round. Brothers David and Yoan helped their team finish in 11th position overall. 

“My experience at the 2024 Junior European Championship was amazing. I had fun and learned so much while I was there. I very much enjoyed being out there competing in a massive arena with a crowd. I am really happy to be the Junior European Pommel Horse Silver Medallist and with my 6th place in the All-Around competition.” David.I

“This was the first time I had been on the European stage and I was pretty nervous. I ended up being in the top 27 in Europe, but I felt I could’ve done a lot better. The experience I got from the competition was amazing and it gave me an understanding of what a big competition like this feels like. Even though it didn’t go as well as I would have liked, watching my brother and the rest of the team do well was amazing. I am proud of myself and the team. The fact that I didn’t do my best motivates me to keep improving for the next big competition.” Yoan.I

Well done David & Yoan, to be competing at the highest level of gymnastics is a truly remarkable achievement. We are incredibly proud of you.
