Aimee – Junior African Champion

Aimee won her Aerobic Gymnastics section at the African Championships that were held at the University of Pretoria in December 2012. The Championships were attended by gymnasts from Algeria, Senegal, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique and South Africa.

At the competition Aimee competed in the qualifications with an almost flawless routine to clinch the top spot heading into the finals. However, she needed to improve her performance to secure the top position, and this Aimee did.

Aimee has always dreamed of representing her country. She has been doing gymnastics since she was 7 years old and worked tirelessly at correcting mistakes and problem areas in her routine to qualify for the South African Team. Hearing the national anthem of South Africa played after she received her gold medal will be a memory that will stay with Aimee for the rest of her life.
