BRITISH CHAMPION

Suzy Kerfoot

At the end of May Crosspool beauty therapist Suzy Kerfoot made her way to Boston USA to compete in her first international competition as a member of “Team Great Britain “at the “Masters Gymnastics World Cup.”

The journey to the Masters Gymnastics World Cup in Boston marks a significant milestone, reflecting the culmination of dedication, passion, and relentless pursuit of excellence. Achieving a personal ranking at an international level is a testament to the hard work and commitment that goes beyond the confines of national representation. The narrow miss from a podium finish by a mere 0.8 marks is a bittersweet reminder of the fine margins that define competitive sports. Excelling in the Vault and Floor routines to secure a world ranking of number 5 is an extraordinary accomplishment, especially considering the personal challenges and responsibilities that come with being a parent and business owner. The support from the community, family, and sponsors underscores the collective spirit that sports can foster, uniting people in celebration of individual and team achievements.

As the British Championships approach, the anticipation builds not just for the defense of her No. 1 title but for the continuation of a journey that inspires and resonates with many. The story shared on social media platforms like Instagram serves as a beacon of inspiration, and displays that dreams have no expiration date and that with determination, they are within reach at any stage of life.
