A young gymnast from Grampian has returned with a plethora of silverware and titles from the 2019 Scottish Gymnastics Championships.
Orianne Slater, from Aberdeen, came home with Championship titles in Uneven Bars, Beam, Floor and Vault in the Womens’ Artistic Disability Masters category.
The dedicated gymnast, who trains and competes with Garioch Amateur Gymnastics Club, is aged just 17 and is relatively new to the senior gymnastics scene. Prior to her transition to senior gymnastics, Orianne took the junior gymnastics events by storm & was named British Gymnastics Girls’ Artistic Disability Champion in consecutive years.
2019 is looking to be a very promising year for Orianne, and she’s now hard at work training for the British Gymnastics Championships, which will be held in Liverpool later this year.
Well done to Orianne and her coaches, Jamie Czop and Trish Swan, and good luck for the national events that await!
