Suki's final competitor for the day was Jasmine Welsh in the FIG group one individual category.

It was a tough category and she scored a fantastic 17.15, a new personal best score for her in 2018, taking her to fourth overall.

It was an incredible competition with vast improvement.

All the Suki team members scored every single skill within their routine which is a first for the club. They also achieved a high number of medals and personal bests as a club.

It was fantastic to see all four competitive levels of aerobic gymnastics performed throughout the day.
