British Disabilities Championships – Stoke

Emily was well prepared and held her focus throughout the event.

The apparatus warmup felt a bit topsy-turvy with 4 men joining the women’s vault warm up!

Unfazed Emily marched in and we all stood for the national anthem.

Starting on Bars Emily performed a strong bar routine to become British champion in her category on this apparatus.

Then back out of the arena to the warm up hall. A nervous wait for beam. Ample Time to become distracted and let you mind wander but Emily fought hard to stay calm.

Back into the arena to perform a secure beam routine with an upgraded dismount to become champion on this piece. Two down, two to go.

On to floor where Emily added a British title to her regional title.

Back out to the warm up hall with one piece to go. Despite the warm up Emily didn’t allow doubt to set in. Remaining positive and determined to become vault champion.

I am proud to announce that Emily is the Category A class 1 all around British disability champion.

Thank you to Sharon who helped in Emily’s preparation and Mrs N for her support.
