Angel Kazakov clinched gold in the senior men’s category. There were also gold medals for Eric Deli and Lulu Sargent in the pairs and Eric also won an individual gold and Lulu a bronze.
Elena claimed silver in the 15-17 age group, whilst Maddison Cater, Scarlett Cater, Eva Tillet, Natalie Pienio, and Anna- Maria Belstoyneva competed in their first International Competition and won bronze in the 9-11 category. In the same age range Rosie Parr, Ava Cherrington and Thalia Barrett won bronze in their trio.
In the 12-14 group, Guilia Burcus gave a beautiful performance to finish in bronze.
Elena Hamblin scored an International personal best to finish in silver position. Well done also to Amey Oliver, Chloe Thornton and Amber Jennings.
Alongside the hard work, the children also enjoyed a shopping trip and ice-skating.
