Emerging stars to compete at AYOF 2013
Gymnastics Australia is proud to announce an immensely talented team of athletes who will represent Australia at the Australian Youth Olympic Festival (AYOF) 2013.
Junior athletes from Men's and Women's Artistic Gymnastics, Rhythmic Gymnastics and Trampoline Gymnastics will have the chance to compete against up and coming athletes from across the globe. AYOF provides a fantastic stepping stone for junior athletes, with Olympians such as Blake Gaudry and Emily Little having previously represented Australia at AYOF in 2007 and 2009 respectively.
The Australian Youth Olympic Festival is a prestigious international multisport event for junior athletes. Staged at the home of the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the AYOF 2013 event will be the largest ever held, with athletes competing from 17 different nations. With the introduction of the Youth Olympic Games in 2010, the AYOF event is now staged once every four years.
