Young gymnasts from a Davao City gym school aim to add to their medal haul after recent wins at the national GAP competitions.
Young gymnasts from Davao City are training for the 2026 Batang Pinoy Games in Bacolod City next month, hoping to build on medals they won at recent national competitions of the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines (GAP), according to the Daily Tribune.
Among those heading to Bacolod are Abigail Morrison, who won gold in the floor exercise of the Youth 12 category, and Ara Mikaliel Sol Cruz, a GAP ranking awardee in the Youth 13 category. Both train at School of Champions, a gymnastics school in Davao City.
Hannah Morrison, owner of School of Champions, told the weekly Davao Sportswriters Association Forum that the athletes are excited about the event and have been training steadily for it. "We hope we can bring home medals in this year's Batang Pinoy Games," Sol Cruz said.
Meanwhile, Moira Copas and Jhanrill Barcelona, who recently won at the senior level of the GAP National Championships, will compete in the upcoming DCAA Games, the report said.
