We are thrilled to celebrate a fantastic achievement within our judging community. This year, the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) offered an additional pathway for judges to gain international brevet status through online exams, and a dedicated group from Aotearoa stepped up to the challenge.
Over the past several months, these judges have shown true manawanui as they prepared for the rigorous assessments. Their hard work has paid off, and we are incredibly proud to recognise their success.
