A new type of competition has hit the island, and the idea came from none other than our very own Federico Judais. When Coach Fede has just started coaching at TR a few months ago, he came to me with (what I personally thought) was a brilliant idea! He wanted to host a competition that was built entirely around gymnastics...specifically gymnastics for functional fitness. After pitching some workout ideas to me, I was immediately convinced, and together we created the Gymnastics Showdown. 

The 1st edition of the Gymnastics Showdown was held between the 28th and 29th of September, and included 3 categories: The mixed all-level teams, Individual Men and Individual Female. Each team/ Individual had 3 events to get through on the Saturday, and 2 events on the Sunday. Training Room had 2 individual female athlete competing (Coach Julia Abarca and Member Natasha Fenech), 3 individual male athletes (Coach William Grima, Member Javier Pastoriza and member Shaun Attard), as well as Anita Olton who competed in the team Flippin' Ninjas.

Coach Julia managed to finish on top of the podium in the female individual category, managing 2 event wins over the weekend. Natasha Fenech finished in 2nd place in the same category, also managing 2 event wins over the weekend. 

In the men's category, coach William Grima finished in 6th place, while member Shaun Attard finished in 7th. Unfortunately, Javi had to withdraw from competition after suffering an injury on 'The Dual' on day 1. 

Anita Olton finished on top of the podium in the teams category with her team mate as part of the team Flippin' Ninjas. They managed 4 event wins over the weekend, only finished 2nd in the last event.

 

All the workout were planned by our gymnastics coach, Federico Judais, who was the brains behind this event. 

The Gymnastics Showdown couldn't be possible without the help from all the TR coaches and our assistant Alana. We would also like to thank Malta Nutrition for supporting the event.
