Silver medal for Flight Gymnastics duo Ava and Rebecca
Two members of Flight Gymnastics in Mallusk are celebrating after a medal-winning performance in Scotland.
Seven gymnasts from the club, along with 13 others from across the country, represented Northern Ireland at the Caledonia International Cup in November.
The team, who competed against elite gymnasts from across the UK and Ireland, included nine-year-old Ava Moore, who won silver with her partner Rebecca Kerr (18).
Ava, from Glengormley and Rebecca from Dundonald performed two beautiful routines together in the IDP1 Women's Pair category.
Mossley Primary School pupil Ava and Rebecca, who is in her first year of studying Law at Ulster University, both train around 16 hours a week at Flight Gymnastics, alongside extra hours when required for the Northern Ireland team.
Rebecca also coaches younger partnerships in Flight throughout the week.
Alongside their coach, Andrew O'Hare, the duo are hoping to build on this success throughout the rest of their season in 2026.
The Northern Ireland Acro Gymnastics Team in November 2025 included Ava, Rebecca, Lucy, Emily, Robyn, Anna and Nadia from Flight Gymnastics Academy, and Phoebe, Annie, Jessica, Erin and Aoife from Splitz Gymnastics Club, along with Sophie, Emma, Kayleigh, Grace, Malayalam, Aimee, Ruby and Maddie from Rathgael Gymnastics Club.
Flight Gymnastics in Mallusk is a not-for-profit organisation that provides opportunities for all members of the community to take part in the wonderful sport of gymnastics.
They opened a 14,000 sq ft full-time training centre in 2018, and currently have over 1,300 members ranging from toddlers to international level gymnasts.
