ACROBATIC gymnasts Paris Scott–Waller and Charis Croall have teamed up to take a top title ahead of 16 other hopefuls.

The girls won the acrobatic gymnastics regional championship in the pre–grade women’s pairs competition at Swallows Leisure Centre, Sittingbourne.

Paris, 11, from Keycol Hill, Sittingbourne, has only been an acrobatic gymnast and tumbler for two years, but she’s already taken the south east solo acrobatic gymnastics championships title for 12 to 14–year-olds.

Now she and Charis, eight, from Minster Road, Minster, are proving a formidable duo, and both girls are looking forward to competing at championships in the new year.

Like Paris, Charis is a member of the Swifts Gymnastics Club based at the Swallows. The pair only teamed up eight months ago.
