On the 6th and 7th September, gymnasts came together from the Australian Capital Territory, Northern Territory, South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia for an action-packed Bigham Cup. Level 6 and Level 7 WAG gymnasts competed in both Team and Individual events as well as for the prestigious Bigham Cup. For 2024, the overall Bigham Cup proved to be an extremely close contest, ending in a tie shared between the Australia Capital Territory and South Australia! The enthusiastic crowd was entertained as they watched some amazing routines and passes from the gymnasts throughout the two-day event. Friendship, support and camaraderie abounded between the States – officials and gymnasts – and the very supportive crowd! Congratulations to all Teams and Individual gymnasts who competed in this exciting and entertaining event, and especially to those who took away awards.
