Training was intense and led by each personal coach; Jay Scouler, Sue Bramble, Nigel Rendell, Sarah Silvester, Olivia Sorbie, Bill Leach and Tracy Whittaker-Smith. |

Beijing Good Luck Games |

A very credible 6th place for Jaime Moore at the Beijing Olympic Test Event. Well done Jaime for gaining Great Britain the only Olympic place in trampoline.
The Olympic Games in August this year are sure to live up to the world's expectation. The Beijing Olympic site is amazing. The Chinese hospitality, 1000's of volunteers and the organisation could not be faulted.
The Olympic Test Event gave Jaime the opportunity to compete at the National Indoor Arena where the Olympic Trampoline event will take place. |
