Petra (20) and Elise (13), are two passionate and hardworking Acrobatic Gymnasts from Gladesville Gymnastics Club, have recently earned the exciting opportunity to represent Australia at prestigious FIG international events this June in Germany and Poland🌍

The pair has been training in the sport from a young age and now dedicate over 20 hours each week to perfecting their skills. Formed as a partnership in late 2024, Petra and Elise have an ultimate goal of representing Australia at the 2026 World Championships.

As is often the case with amateur sport in Australia, this journey is entirely self-funded. There is currently no financial assistance available through sporting or government bodies, leaving athletes and their families to carry the full cost of international competition.

Your generous support will directly help Petra and Elise by contributing to essential expenses, including:

✈️ Flights and accommodation

🎽 Uniforms and competition leotards

📋 Entry fees, coach and judge fees

🧳 Chaperone costs and other associated travel expenses

Every donation, big or small, will ease the financial burden and allow Petra and Elise to focus on what matters most — training, performing, and proudly representing Australia on the world stage.

Thank you for being a part of their journey. Your support truly makes a difference💛
