Van der Stel Gymnastics Club has wrapped up a successful 2024 competition season for its rhythmic and women’s artistic gymnasts, showcasing impressive talent and determination.
The season commenced with notable recognition for Salomie Rademeyer, who was selected for the Western Cape High Performance squad, marking a significant achievement for the club.
At the Western Cape championships in rhythmic gymnastics, Nandipha Mfundisi excelled. She secured second place all-around, along with first place for ball and second place for clubs in the Level 10, 14 years and over category. Salizwa Milanjana also shone, finishing third all-around and third for rope in the Level 4, 13 years division.
In the women’s artistic gymnastics competition, Catherine Malherbe earned third place on vault (Level 4, 10 years), while Anina Rademeyer clinched first place all-around and first on beam (Level 5, 11 years).
Salomie further added to the club’s accolades by finishing second on beam in the Level 8, 14 years and over category.
It is therefore no surprise that six of the club’s gymnasts proudly received Western Cape colours in the sport.
They also participated in this year’s SA Gym Games, the largest national event yet, with over 3 200 participants from across South Africa over a span of 10 days. Anina continued her strong performance at the SA Gym Games, achieving third place all-around and third on vault in the Level 5, 11 years category.
The dedication and talent displayed by the athletes reflect the club’s unwavering commitment to excellence in gymnastics.
Van Der Stel Gymnastics Club looks forward to building on the success in the coming seasons.
