Rhythmic | Gymnasts Added to Individual Performance Programmes for 2022-23
Five individual rhythmic gymnasts have been selected to join performance programmes for the second half of the programme year, following a profiling day in December.
Cara Mackay from Esprit and Darja Derugina (ViSta) move from the performance pathway programme (PPP) to the national performance programme (NPP).
Pentland’s Poppy Kemp is selected for the PPP at espoir level. Club mate Chloe Hollick and Sophie Chen from ViSta are the first to join the new development programme for pre-espoir level gymnasts which focusses on brilliant basics, ballet skills and personal development.
They join the 20 other gymnasts selected in June at the first of two entry points to profiling. Two groups have also been re-selected for the programme with a review due in May.
Camps for all programmes are led by technical experts including lead coach Ruth Wilson, supported by development coaches Laura Donaldson, Laura Ytre-Eide, Violeta Staeva and Sarah Uysal.
The programmes provide a supportive environment for gymnasts to thrive, to embrace challenges and setbacks as well as taking ownership of their training and their development.
Congratulations to the selected gymnasts and their personal coaches. We look forward to following everyone’s progress on the programmes.
