Jersey gymnasts shine in strong competition

At the Special Olympics Southern Region Artistic competition in the Queen’s Hall, 28 Islanders – who have been preparing hard at Greenfields, were among an entry of 128.

Jersey had four gymnasts performing voluntary routines at level 4, the highest level, and all in the under-21 section.

Samantha Godel, who was belatedly presented with her trophy from the last British Championships, last November, put in good shows on three pieces but two falls on the beam spoiled an otherwise good weekend. She took the all round gold comfortably while also winning two golds, two silvers and a bronze.
