New Zealand athletes delivered standout performances at the 2025 Australian Gymnastics Championships last week, earning medals in over 20 events across trampoline and rhythmic gymnastics.

The competition saw a strong Kiwi contingent take to the floor on the Gold Coast, with athletes impressing across multiple categories. From individual and synchronised trampoline to rhythmic apparatus finals, the team demonstrated skill, determination, and great sportsmanship throughout.

We were also pleased to have a New Zealand aerobics team compete at the event, gaining valuable international experience and representing the country with pride.

Congratulations to all athletes, coaches, judges, and support staff involved. Your hard work and dedication continues to shine on the international stage.
