The British NDP Finals brought together the best rhythmic gymnasts from across the UK, and the Welsh athletes delivered strong performances across all levels. Notably, the Under 9 and Under 10 categories no longer have a British Championships in July, making this event a significant highlight for these young athletes.
In the Under 9 category, Gracie Thomas placed 10th All Around, while Robyn Watson followed closely in 11th. The Under 10 category saw a standout performance from Liliana Evans, who became the All Around Champion and also secured 1st in Ball and 2nd in Free.
In the Under 11 (Grade 6) category, Anastasiia Hladka achieved 3rd All Around, 1st in Ball, and 6th in Clubs. Meanwhile, in the Under 12 category, Ella-Rose Thomas finished 10th All Around, and Harper Davies placed 13th.
Bonnie Williams dominated the Under 13 (Grade 4) category, earning 1st All Around, 1st in Hoop, and 1st in Clubs. In the Junior (Grade 3) category, Tabitha Rigg placed 5th All Around, 3rd in Ribbon, 5th in Clubs, and 9th in Hoop. Eleni Spear achieved 2nd All Around in the Junior (Grade 2) category, also placing 2nd in Clubs, 3rd in Ribbon, and 4th in Hoop.
In the Senior (Grade 1) category, Mali Lane secured 5th All Around, while Wiktoria Barczewska placed 19th.
Congratulations to all the athletes for their hard work and impressive achievements. These results are a testament to the strength and depth of Welsh rhythmic gymnastics talent, and we look forward to seeing these gymnasts continue to grow and excel in future competitions.
