Gym marks 40th with bounce

89 gymnasts hosted at special clinic

Omni Gymnastics Centre in Napier celebrated its 40th birthday in style last week when it hosted 89 of the best gymnasts from Wellington to Gisborne. The athletes were trained under the guidance of a team of 10 senior coaches, includingHoward Hill and Jane Sheldrake, who have both had long careers and escorted New Zealand teams to numerous overseas competitions. The clinic was very well received by gymnasts, coaches and parents.
