Name: Charlotte Dyson Age: 10
Club: South Staffs Acrobatics
Coaches: Nick Duddy and Gemma
Disapline: Grade 4 Womens Groups
Charlotte is one of the most promising talents coming out of the West Midlands region and has the determination and drive to succeed, she is definitly a gymnast to look out for in the future.
Charlie got involved in acrobatic gymnastics 3 years ago, aged just 7 years, after seeing an article in a local paper about South Staffs Acrobatics. Since then she has improved dramatically, now working her way to competiting on a National stage.
Miss Dyson has moved through the National Development Plan with ease, and has worked with various partners on the way including; Womens pairs at Grade 1 with both Kristina Burns and Laura Furnival. Grade 2 Womens Groups with various partners including current base, Sammy-Jo Burlton. (Picture Bottom Right) Her longest partnership of a WP2 with Laura Furnival saw her gain a podium place on various occasions.
She has had trial partnerships with acclaimed gymnasts, Amy Marsdon and Claire Rutter who have both represented GB in various competition. However, Charlie was left dissapointed wheb Marsdon and Rutter announced their retirement.
But this lead on to one of her best partnerships yet. Charlie is now working with Sarah Smallman and Sammy-Jo Burlton in a Grade 4 Trio, and they seem to be getting better and better. Their latest results prove their talent as a group, including 8th Place at the recent NDP British Championships and a silver medal at the 2007 Bucks Open in Milton Keynes. (Picture Below)
She is an extremely talented gymnast with great potential. Her favorite dynamic skill is 1 3/4 front to craddle and favours the russian lever balance. However, her forte is her flexibilty, demonstrated in the quality of her valdez, walkovers and mexian handstands.
Charlottes dream is currently to win a medal at a British Championships or Tournament, which is a VERY realistic dream.
Lets hope that she extends this wish to competing on a European and World stage, because if she contiunes to progress at the level she has begun, it wont be long before this 10 year old from the Midlands is representing Great Britian.
Good Luck Charlie, and Keep Working Hard....
