[Updated] The Bermuda Gymnastics Association hosted the second annual International Gymnastics Challenge today [Jan 12] at their Southside facility.

Premier Craig Cannonier and Governor George Fergusson came out to lend their support to the event, which saw dozens of gymnasts from Bermuda, Canada and the USA compete. The local athletes thrilled the home crowd, with Bermuda taking home first place team honours in both the morning and afternoon session.
