Lowri Has High Hopes

Sixth Former Lowri Hegan’s gymnastics trio have been selected to represent Great Britain at an Acrobatic World Cup series event in Poland this June. 

She has been training in acrobatics at Southampton gym club for seven years and has been working in her current trio for just over a year. Lowri currently trains between five and six days a week for about 20 hours. 

Last year, Lowri’s trio were selected as one of the few across the country to compete in two different trial events for World and European championships at the national gymnastics centre in Lilleshall. Unfortunately, they were forced to pull out of the second trial due to injury so have had to work extremely hard to be ready to compete again. 

Lowri has always aspired to represent Great Britain: “Being selected to represent Great Britain is a real honour, knowing that our work has been recognised by the national coach as being of high enough quality to represent our country - I am very excited to compete with a Union Jack on my leotard!”
