Our fabulous gymnasts from Waveney Gymnastics Club, Lowestoft brought a stash of medals back to the County from their recent travels to Oslo, Norway.

Funded partly by East Suffolk Council ‘Enabling Communities Budget’ but mostly self-funded by months of fundraising at the club, the gymnasts travelled to Oslo where they were hosted by the Norwegian Federation of Gymnasts. The standard was high as they competed against gymnasts representing 13 other countries. Months of hard work in training in the gym paid off and the gymnasts performed to very best and were cheered on and supported by family and friends, and volunteer Sandra and coaches Ellen and Alex.

The athletes journey was documented by using some of the digital equipment that was funded by East Suffolk Council and will be ready to view very soon – watch this space!

Huge congratulations to the gymnasts, coaches and supporters from all of us at Special Olympics Suffolk – you did us proud!
