Well done to Rebecca Johnson, Anand Patel & Brandon Garrett who represented the Isle of Man at the prestigious Commonwealth Youth Games 2011.

This event was well attended by most Commonwealth Countries who are registered with the Federation of International Gymnastics.
Against a field of some of the best up and coming gymnasts in the world - some we might see at World Championships and perhaps even the Olympic Games one day, we can feel very proud of our gymnasts.
