Australian Gymnastics Championships- Week 1
The event served not only as an opportunity for Australia's finest to perform at a national level, but also as the final selection event for the solo WAG spot on the 2016 Olympic Team. 

WA proudly now has several new National Champions in both MAG & WAG, highlighted by the Senior WAG Vault title won by Emily Little (Spirit / WAIS) and the Senior WAG Beam title won by Lauren Mitchell (College Park / WAIS).

Australian Gymnastics Championships- Week 2
After two long weeks and several thousand routines, the 2016 Australian Gymnastics Championships wrapped up on Saturday night at Melbourne's Hisense Arena. 

The pinnacle of WA's achievements in Week 2 was undoubtedly the 1-2 finish from Eva Kierath (Peak Trampoline) and Naomie Ding (Southern Star) in the Senior Women's Trampoline competition. 

Eva's victory makes her WA's first ever Senior National Champion in Trampoline, so congratulations to Eva and all involved at Peak Trampoline on this achievement.
