Gymnastics State Team

Some exciting news to share with the Brighton community – Orli Aeschlimann in Year 9 was selected for the State Team for the 2026 Border Challenge in Artistic Gymnastics (WAG Level 8), which was held on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland on June 21st and June 22nd.

Despite balancing a demanding training schedule of 20 hours per week alongside school commitments, Orli’s dedication and hard work truly paid off, with the continued support of those around her playing an important role in her success. Her achievement in competing marked her first opportunity to represent Victoria at a national event. Well done, Orli!

Overcoming many challenges to achieve this significant milestone in her gymnastics journey. We would also like to highlight Orli's placing 3rd on the vault at state trials and her clean routines at states this year.”
