ST IVES’ Alicia Ee has starred at the Australian Gymnastics Championships, putting together a masterful performance to come away with three medals.
The 15 year old nailed her floor routine to claim silver at the elite competition.
Alicia, who trains at Hornsby RSL Gymnastics Centre, also demonstrated her all-round talent when she earned a bronze for vault and was part of the bronze medal-winning NSW level seven team.
Despite already having 12 years of experience under her belt, Alicia says she was a little surprised with just how well she did.
“I felt really happy winning medals with my team mates.
“It was also unexpected as there were many fantastic routines. Overall it was a fun and enjoyable experience.
“It didn’t matter if I won or lost. I just had a great time with my teammates and (was happy) that I made it to the Australian Championships.”
Alicia said that her focus now was to keep getting better and enjoying the sport with her friends.
“I love learning new skills and techniques to improve my level of gymnastics.”
Alicia is the latest nominee for the Hornsby Advocate Local Sports Stars awards, which are on until August 31. Prizes will be awarded to athletes aged 18 and under across four categories: Junior Sports Star Individual, Junior Sports Star Team, Young Sporting Spirit Individual and Young Sporting Spirit Team. There is also a Service To Sport category.
