A Sunbury gymnast who’s been honing her skills since the age of three is launching herself on to the national stage.
Matilda Gavaghan, 14, is representing Victoria at the Australian Gymnastics Championships, which started at Melbourne’s Hisense Arena on Monday.
The Salesian College student, known as Tilly, who began competing in gymnastics as a five-year-old, will contest the women’s artistic section.
Tilly has been training up to 19 hours a week. “I just love it,” she says.
After the titles, Tilly will attend an Australian Institute of Sport camp before joining fellow Sunbury gymnast Ava Salopayevs at the Waikiki Gym Fest in Hawaii next January.
