ABOUT Tenille Pretorius
Hi, I'm Tenille
Eight years ago, I fell in love with Rhythmic Gymnastics. I had no idea it would lead me here.
This year, Gymnastics Australia has selected me to compete internationally in Rhythmic Gymnastics. I've worked toward something like this for a long time, and honestly, knowing it's actually happening hasn't fully sunk in yet.
I'll be competing at three international events in May and June 2026:
- Portimão International Tournament: Portugal, 8–10 May 2026
- Portimão World Challenge Cup: Portugal, 15–17 May 2026
- World Challenge Cup: Cluj-Napoca, Romania, 25–28 June 2026
I want to say a huge thank you to my coaches Leah and Tahnee, whose guidance, unwavering support and belief in me have been invaluable. To Vital Gymnastics Club and extended Community, I am so grateful for your support of this opportunity.
To my family, thank you. You have been by my side through every part of this journey, and none of this would be possible without you.
Why I need your help
International selection is an honour, but it comes with real costs that aren't covered by the program.
To compete at all three events, I need to raise approximately $22,600 to cover:
Flights and accommodation: | $18 700.00 (Portugal and Romania)
|
Coach support, judging contributions, entry fees and music licensing:
| $2 700.00
|
Australian team uniform and competition essentials: | $750
|
Training and facility costs between competitions: | $498
|
Every dollar goes directly toward making these competitions happen. My dad Johann, is managing the fundraiser, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
What this means to me
Rhythmic gymnastics has given me so much, the resilience, focus, discipline, and the joy of watching hard work turn into something real. Being selected to represent Australia is the result of years of that quiet, consistent effort, and the trust of everyone who believed I was capable.
I'll step onto that competition floor knowing exactly what it took to get there, and I will give it my absolute all.
