Year 7 student Mollie will take part in the gymnastic qualifiers in June at Corby Gymnastics Academy for a chance to compete in the county competitions later this year.

Last year Mollie achieved impressive results in the competition and was awarded 1^st place on bars, 2^nd on beam and 3^rd on both floor and volt.

Since then Mollie has moved up to level 7 and is hoping to win further awards in this years competition. She said: ‘I  have taken part in gymnastics since I was 6 years old. I have always loved sport so I went to try a session and really enjoyed it.

‘I love learning new skills in gymnastics and seeing my progression. It also makes me feel very strong.

‘The bars are my very piece of aporatus because they make me feel so free when I am in the air. I really enjoy competing and I am looking forward to my upcoming competitions.

‘I hope that one day I might take part in the Olympics but if not I would like to become an actress and incorporate my gymnastics or become a coach because I love helping others lean news skills.’
