Over 200 gymnasts from across Ekurhuleni participated in the qualifier.
“All of the Nigel Gymnastics gymnasts qualified for their colours,” said coach Charlene Maritz.

Medals were awarded to the following gymnasts:
• Gold:
Neveah Allner and Leandri Pieters.
• Silver:
Mieke Esterhuizen, Reuben Du Toit, Alroche Barnardo, Zanell Nell, Rone Loxton, Amy-Lou Pretorius, Sinentokozo Mpulo, Zelincha Grobler and Anika van Rooyen.
