Acrobatics – West of Scotland Championships

City of Glasgow Acrobatics had a very successful weekend at the West of Scotland Championships. This is a charity event with all proceeds going to Children First (SSPCC) with eight different cubs across Scotland participating.

Iain McLean and Marcus Hunter won Gold in the Grade 1 Pairs category. This was the boys first time competing and they performed excellently to score a well earned 25.85.

Josh McKay and Ella Loffler won silver in the same category. This was also their first time competing and they performed very well to also score highly with 25.65.

Jaxon McCracken and Orianna Smith also competed in the Grade 1 Pairs category. The girls performed recently at the Scottish Championships and showed the judges and audience a strong improvement in their performance.

These are new partnerships for the City of Glasgow and we hope they continue the medal success at future competitions.

Congratulations to all the gymnasts who took part.
