In the junior age group Bethany Butterfield, Lucy Vause and Georgia Robinson had a fantastic weekend of competition with these superbly talented young gymnasts competing in the under 18s section in their very first event at this level.

Over the weekend the gymnast put in superb display after display and in their last routine they performed a near faultless routine to take the British silver medal.
