YOUNGSTERS wiped the floor with their amazing acrobatics at a national gym festival.
County Durham gymnasts somersaulted their way to four gold medals, a silver and a bronze at the recent Sports Acrobatics national finals.
The teams of pairs and trios from Deerness Gym Club, Durham City, produced circus-like displays and clinched more medals than any other club in the British Isles.
The club has eleven gymnasts representing the country and in May a team will participate in the Senior European competition, in Portugal.
One of the winning teams in the recent competition was ten-year-old Hannah Goggin and her partner Claire Boustead, 15, whose twin sister Louise also won a gold medal.
Hannah's mother, Denise, from Bishop Auckland, said: "Hannah has to be thrown up in the air and does somersaults before she's caught.
"I don't watch any more, I have to sit in the car."
