Congratulations to Maya in Year 7 who has had a fantastic result in the Gymstars international competition held in Malta.

The open entry competition saw Maya representing The Wire gymnastics club, her training base in Warrington where she works under coach Holly Doherty.

In a competition featuring hundreds of competitors, Maya proudly claimed an overall third place in the 10-12 age group, winning the bars discipline outright.

Maya's journey started on her trampoline at home before joining Beth Tweddle Gymnastics, and then moving on to Aerial Gymnastics in Croxteth. She has been training at The Wire since January this year.

Her advice to anyone seeking to emulate her success is simple: "Keep trying!"

Very well done to Maya on her success!
