Breanna Scott of SGAC/NSW High Performance made history at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham UK as she became the first NSW athlete in 20 years to deliver a podium finish in the Women’s Artistic Gymnastics team competition.
The 20-year-old gymnast was making her first appearance at a Commonwealth Games alongside team mates Georgia Godwin, Emily Whitehead, Romi Brown and Kate McDonald and delivered strong routines to help the team win the Team silver medal, and finished in the top 10 for both her beam and floor routines with scores of 12.450 and 12.600 respectively.
When interviewed after her performance Breanna said that standing on the podium with a medal around her neck is a memory she will cherish. She went on to say “It has been amazing to be competing against such great athletes. The village has been one of the best experiences, especially meeting different athletes from different sports and countries. I want to build from this event in preparation for hopefully being selected for World Championships later this year and believe I will be able to show some upgrades,” she said.
We look forward to seeing Breanna back in training at SGAC, and all the team at West HQ send our congratulations on her amazing performances.
