Sports reports: Junior gymnasts do well at state championships

The SA Junior Gymnastics Championships have been held recently in Adelaide, with two local athletes placing highly in their age groups.

Briahna took silver on bars and Layla was fourth on floor.

Gymnastics was a highly skilled sport and it took a lot of hard work to achieve those kinds of results, said the Murraylands Gymnastics Academy in a social media post.
