This evening we celebrated and rewarded two of our gymnasts with their recent international medal success.
GMPD gymnast Jonathan Mackie competed for Team GB at the 2011 Special Olympics Summer Games in Athens, Greece and came home with no less than seven medals, six of them GOLD! What an utterly fantastic result for Jonathan. The seventh medal was a silver for Team GB.
Douglas Ross, a Men’s Artistic gymnast went to the Isle of Man with Youth Team Scotland for the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games and brought home a gold medal in the Vault competition. It was the sole gymnastics medal and one of five gold medals for the Scottish Team. Again, a fantastic effort by Douglas.
Without the skill and dedication of their coaches, these medals would be all the more difficult to obtain, so we also rewarded GMPD’s Angela Turner and Men’s Artistics Marius Gherman for their work in turning out such talented gymnasts. Well done all!
