Brescia House gymnast trains for gold

Alberts did well in five competitions and came home with four medals.

Alberts trains three days a week for four hours at the Johannesburg Gymnastic Club in Newlands. According to her mother, Wendy gymnastics is a phenomenal sport that helps with body conditioning and self discipline.

“She is the most committed little girl, a shining example of an athlete,” said Wendy. “Her dedication and focus show great strength. She dives for her school and is a powerful sprinter, all of which show elements of control.”

Alberts represents Gauteng in gymnastics and has her heart set on going to the Olympics one day.
