British Gymnastics is delighted that the skills of some of Britain’s best gymnasts have been recognised through the achievements of Acrobatic gymnastics group, ‘Spelbound’, the winners of the ‘Britain's Got Talent 2010’.
Jane Allen, CEO of British Gymnastics said, “ ‘Spelbound’s’ fantastic achievement is appropriate recognition of their remarkable talent and dedication and reflects the depth of World Class gymnastic talent in Great Britain. This victory, following on the heels of the outstanding results at the recent European Championships, will be a further boost to the profile of the sport as we look ahead to the Acrobatic Gymnastics World Championships in July and London 2012.”
‘Spelbound’, who were formed at Spelthorne Elite Acrobatics club coached by Neil Griffiths with choreography from Nicola Yellop, is made up of various Acrobatic gymnasts, all of whom took titles or medals at the 2010 Acrobatic Gymnastics British Championships and have represented Great Britain at World and European Championships.
