Yesterday we went to the Eastern Province Tumbling and Trampoline Trials in the Uitenhage Indoor Sports Centre. Chaos Boy took part in two items and got a gold and silver (see here). Tumbling and Trampoline in the Eastern Cape is of a very high standard and this becomes very clear when you realise that nine of the twenty gymnasts chosen to go to the Gymnastics World Age Group Games in Russia in November comes from Port Elizabeth. Of those nine, four belongs to Gymstars, Chaos Boy's club. The star in the team, Bianca Budler, was also chosen to represent South Africa at the World Championships which also takes place in St Petersburg a week before the World Age Group Games.
I am too scared to tackle the tumbling!
