A Biggera Waters cheerleading gym is living a dream after being the first team in Australia to win the World Championships on Sunday.
Gold Coast’s Inspire Athletics club team Fame 5 have won the cheerleading World Championships.
Fame 5 base Journey Hipwood said after 10 years of cheerleading she never thought she would win the World Championships.
“There are no words to describe how it feels,” she said. “It has been a dream of everyone’s for a very long time and we can finally say we have done it.
“Our pyramid is definitely one of the highlights of our routine.
“It took us a long time to nail it but was amazing to see all our hard work pay off,” Ms Hipwood said.
Fame 5 coach Matt Darnett said he was grateful his team got recognised as elite on the world stage: “I’ve experienced what it is like to achieve such a coveted goal with 16 of my best friends. The future of cheerleading is an exciting prospect as I think I may see some of my athletes competing for Australia at the Olympics.”
