The English Championships 2025 were an unforgettable success for Devotion Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy, with our gymnasts achieving remarkable results across multiple age groups and levels.
On 31 May 2025, Vivienne delivered an excellent performance at English Espoir 2025, winning the Gold category overall 🏆. She secured gold on clubs 🥇, silver on ball 🥈 and gold overall 🥇, demonstrating confidence, precision and strong competitive spirit. On the same day, Sophia and Nicole also performed well, presenting clean routines with only a few minor mistakes and gaining valuable experience at this high-level competition. A special thank you goes to our coach Sandra Gawronska, who supported the event by judging throughout the day from early morning until late evening.
The following days brought even more outstanding achievements. On 3 June 2025, Ana Maria Toia was crowned Absolute English Champion in the Under 12 Gold level, winning gold medals on ball and clubs alongside the overall title 🏆. This was a fantastic achievement for Ana Maria and her coach Sandra, reflecting their dedication and hard work.
We also celebrated a strong performance from Fiorella, who won a silver medal on clubs 🥈, placed fourth overall and finished fifth on ribbon, showing excellent progress and determination.
Another highlight of the championships was Tsvetelina Kandinska, who became English Champion in the Under 13 Diamond level 💎 🏆. Tsveti won the overall title, along with bronze on hoop 🥉 and silver medals on clubs 🥈 and ribbon 🥈. Her journey is truly inspiring. Starting rhythmic gymnastics at the age of nine, she progressed through recreational groups and club squads before earning her place on the Elite squad. At just 12 years old, she competed in her first national competition last year, and in 2025 she has achieved a British Open bronze medal 🥉and an English Championship title 🏆. Her success is a testament to her exceptional talent, perseverance and the dedication of her coach Sandra.
Further success followed on 4 June 2025, with more DevotionRG gymnasts achieving excellent results in the Under 12 Bronze level. Kotryna won silver on hoop 🥈, bronze on ribbon 🥉, and silver overall 🥈. Dominyka achieved silver on ribbon 🥈, bronze overall 🥉 and fourth on hoop, while Patrisiya secured bronze on hoop 🥉 and finished fourth on ribbon and overall. This was the first national competition for all three gymnasts, making their achievements even more special. Well done to their personal coach Roxana Bobe for her fantastic work and support.
Rounding off an incredible weekend, Sophia Zhou narrowly missed the podium with a fourth-place finish on free, just 0.100 points away from bronze. With only a year and a half of training and having joined Devotion RG just a few months ago, Sophia’s performance highlighted her natural talent and strong work ethic and we are excited to see her future progress.
We are immensely proud of all our gymnasts, coaches and supporters. These results reflect the hard work, dedication and passion that define Devotion RG and we look forward to building on this success in the seasons ahead 💗🎀
