28th WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS of TRAMPOLINE 2011
- Birmingham (GBR), November 18 -
__________________________________________
The British women’s trampoline team produced a sensational performance to claim the World Championship silver medal at the NIA in Birmingham.
Emma Smith, Laura Gallagher and Kat Driscoll all completed clean, precise routines to give GB a team total of 159.585 behind champions CHINA (164.485) and ahead of Canada in bronze (159.085).
Kat Driscoll- “Winning the silver medal is amazing, when you think about it were the second best team in the world, now all we have to do is go one better and beat the Chinese. To come out and perform the way we did after the way we felt after the preliminaries is great. We are so happy and I am so proud! Looking back on yesterday’s competition (where Kat qualified an Olympic place for GB) it feels so good to have qualified a place for the Olympics, that was our main goal coming here so I’m very happy. There is a long way to go however and we have a lot to do before then.”
Emma Smith got GBR off to a fantastic start, with the format of the competition meaning every routine counts it was vital to start well and she performed her highly difficult routine brilliantly for 53.325.
Laura Gallagher got huge height on her routine, with a substituted skill in the middle, but she kept her composure and completed the routine well to score 51.935 and keep GBR in the medal hunt.
Kat Driscoll was the last up, two triple somersaults perfectly executed - the perfect routine to secure the silver medal for GB.
