Five-medal win for Grade 2 student, Viking’s Jorja Anderson

It was a five-medal win for eight-year old Jorja Andreson when she  recently attended the 2013 Twist and Flip Invitation held in Lethbridge and hosted by the West Wind Gymnastics Club.

 Jorja is in Grade 2 at Viking School and trains at the Viking Gymnastics Club as well as competitively for the Wainwright Gymnastics Club. She trains anywhere from 14-16 hours a week.

    Jorja’s coach, who just happens to be her mom, Dana Anderson, says Jorja is competing at a P1 Level this year as an underage athlete as, “you are not allowed to compete Argo until you are nine years old in that calendar year according to Alberta Gymnastics Federation Guidelines.”
