James takes bronze in Cardiff DMT Super League

James Langley returned today to the Welsh National Sports Centre and the Double Mini Trampoline (DMT) League competition in Cardiff. This was James' first DMT competition of the year and the first since his ankle operation last December. Now at age 19, James performed well to take the bronze medal in his new age group (19+ years). He also competed in the strongly contested DMT super league competition. Last time he took 4th place, however, he went clean on all passes which secured him the bronze medal and a cut of the prize money.

Bracknell Gymnastics Club and James would like to express their thanks to 'six time world champion' - Kylie Walker and Sue Lawton for all of their help with his DMT training.

Welsh Gymfest

The Performance Team took part in the Rio themed Welsh Gymfest today in Cardiff. The team was made up of Daisy, Lucy, Jessica, Natasha, Leah, Tilly, Phoebe and Jenna with coaches James and Sophie.

A red carpet greeted the gymnasts as they walked out on to the Rio Carnival decorated floor. The gymnasts showcased their samba and acrobatic skills with their best ever performance. All gymnasts had an amazing time and can't wait for the next festival. Massive congratulations to all who took part and a big Thank You to Welsh Gymnastics for hosting a brilliant event.

Pride of Bracknell Awards

Last night our own James Langley won the Pride of Bracknell award for achievements against great adversity.  

James was unable to attend to dinner because he needed to attend his final training session before a BG selection event on Sunday. However, he was represented by BGC Director - Leigh Barker and by BFBC Councillor Peter Heydon. James apologies were made in advance but he was able to quickly change and attend the awards after his training was completed. Peter Heydon rang the club next morning to say how well James had represented himself and the club at the awards and how popular his win was. 

Bracknell Gymnastics Club are very proud of how hard James has fought and how much he has achieved. Well deserved James 👏
