Richmond Gymnastics Association head coach Kath Small has high hopes for tumblers Lucy Elliman, Heather Cowell and Harry Leaddley at the 21st World Age Group Championships next week.
The trio have been named in the British squad for the event at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, which starts next Wednesday.
It is the first time the club has had three gymnasts in the squad and believes that is an achievement in itself.
“It’s exciting to have three gymnasts called up to the GB Tumbling Team,” she said.
“This is a first for Richmond and we hope the sign of things to come for our talented squad.
“Tumbling in the UK is world class and the competition to even get picked for the GB team is immense, so all three have done very well.”
