A CLUB from Swindon will join Team GB for the largest gymnastics festival in the world this July.

The Espirit Gymnastics Club will represent its country at the World Gymnaestrada festival in Austria.

Team GB will include 800 gymnasts from 30 British Gymnastics-affiliated clubs, with participants ranging from six-years-old to those in their 60s.

Head coach Cherie Skeats said: “We’re really looking forward to performing in front of a load of different crowds out in Austria and also meeting a lot of the different nations who will be out there.

“This weekend we have had the opportunity to meet the club we will be paired with for one of our performances and we’ve also picked up our team kit – the kids have had a wonderful time and they’re really looking forward to flying to Austria.”

They will show off their routines with 23,000 gymnasts from 60 countries in the city of Dornbirn.
