Year 9 student, Beatrice Richmond, travelled to Porto in Northern Portugal with her team from the Richmond Gymnastics Association to represent Great Britain in the Maia International Acro Cup.

Taking part in their first international competition, her trio performed two routines on 6 and 7 March in the hotly contested Age Group 11-16 international category and narrowly missed qualifying for the final. Beatrice’s next competition will be in Bristol as a precursor to the British Championships in Liverpool at the end of July.
