Support Sophie’s Journey to Represent Australia in Gymnastics!

Sophie Leo is a 15-year-old junior international gymnast from Queensland, Australia, with an extraordinary passion for gymnastics. Over the past 10 years, Sophie has dedicated herself to the sport, training over 27 hours per week, pushing her limits, and honing her skills to reach new heights. As she transitions to competing at the Senior International level next year, Sophie’s dreams are expanding.

Gymnastics is not just a sport for Sophie—it’s literally a way of life. With a heart full of ambition and a fierce determination to succeed, Sophie is on track to make her mark on the international gymnastics scene. However, reaching this level of excellence comes with a significant financial burden; a burden that is increasing rapidly as the requirements of the sport at this level become more demanding.

Sophie’s Vision and Dreams:

Next year, Sophie will be competing at the Senior International level, an incredible milestone in her gymnastics journey. However, this level of competition presents a unique challenge: there are very few opportunities to compete within Australia. To reach her potential and gain the experience needed to compete at the highest levels of the sport, Sophie will be required to regularly compete in international competitions. These events are critical to her development as an athlete, but the costs involved—such as travel, accommodation, competition fees, medical and training expenses—are substantial.

Unfortunately, gymnastics in Australia is underfunded, making it extremely difficult for athletes like Sophie to secure the necessary financial resources to pursue their dreams. Sophie is reaching out to you for support, as every contribution will help her continue to strive for excellence and represent Australia on the world stage.

Some of Sophie's recent achievements include:

2024 QLD state team Junior international, 3rd all around state championships

2023 level 8 QLD state and National all around champion, silver bars, silver vault; 360 gymnastics Senior gymnast of the year; 360 gymnastics club champion level 8-10

2022 360 gymnastics club champion level 8-10, 2nd all around level 8 border challenge.

Sophie believes in the power of setting goals and working relentlessly toward them—and she wants other young athletes to see her journey as a testament to what is possible with belief in yourself and a never-give-up attitude.
