Luke and Alex were incredible on the limbo competition, the clear winners and Kyan was able to hold his handstand the longest.

Thank you to our amazing coaches, Guennadi, Steve and Gavin who travelled up to Port Pirie at 5.30am and got home around 7.00pm to support our athletes and judge at the competition for the club. We appreciate you!

Special mention to coach Gavin, who amazed us with his skills in the quickest handstand walk/run, whilst almost knocking out the competition when he fell.

Congratulations to our MAG athletes Marc Turner and Jon Douglas who competed in the Masters Games 2019, held last Saturday, 12th October. While it was their first competition in the Masters Games, these boys did us all proud, both achieving a 2nd Place All Round in their respective divisions. Well done!

Marc competed in the Masters 30-39 competition. This division is for ex athletes who have competed at approx level 5 or above, or think they can still pull off some skills. Marc placed on the following apparatus:

1st Pommel
3rd Vault
3rd Parallel Bars

Jon competed in the Open 30-39 competition. This division is for beginners, or those who have competed up to Level 4, or are a bit rusty. Jon placed on the following apparatus:

1st Pommel
1st Floor
2nd Vault
2nd High Bar
3rd Parallel Bars

We are so proud of you both. We hope you are enjoying advancing your skills with our TTG MAG team.

The Masters Games provides a platform for ex competitors and newcomer adults to compete. It’s more relaxed than a FIG competition but allows athletes to compete a lot of older and lower-level skills, so there is more flexibility in routine design. Older and Younger athletes can compete together with execution more heavily weighted than difficulty.
