Miss Milano 2000
Many thanks to all of you for telephoning
to reminding us to give the final report on Miss Milano 2000 - and here
it is! Firstly, on behalf of Milano International, I would like to thank
all of our 1500+ entires! From there we chose 85 regional finalists who
have all recently enjoyed their own personal photoshoot - a fabulous time
was had by all!
From the regional entires we chose our Miss Milano 2000 - Christina Fossheim from the North East Region was recently crowned and received her trophy from last years winner, Hannah Swainston. Christina will feature in the 2000-2001 brochure which is currently in production (all the new stunning designs were photographed last week; make sure you're on the mailing list now!).
The regional winners are listed below and can call the office anytime to claim their prize... all photos will be sent out to you very soon with vouchers for prizes unclaimed and also full listings of the lucky winners.
A final thought for all our models to be - our new brochure (launched 7th July) is modelled totally by British Squad Gymnasts alongside current and previous Miss Milano Finalists (some of whom entered the competition five times!) So a big thank you to all who helped make it a fantastic competition - see you next year?!

STEVEN SELECTED FOR NATIONAL SQUAD
Steven Roberts a pupil at Maddiston Primary and aged just 8 years old is the latest up and coming star to come out of Falkirk School of Gymnastics.
Steven started his gymnastics career at the age of 3 when he joined the Falkirk Jumping Beans, the very popular pre-school Gymnastics classes at the School of Gymnastics in the Cow Wynd. Even at this age Steven was marked down as a future prospect By Administration Director Robert Callahan. Robert said " Even at the age of 3 Steven had all the qualities that makes a good gymnast. He had a small build, was strong and supple and a determination to succeed in any skills he was given"
At Primary School age Steven moved up to the Tumbling Beans and after a year was selected to join Falkirk Boys Gymnastics Club where he joined the other under 8 boys coached by Andrew Webb. For the next 2 years he learned the skills required for men's artistic gymnastics and due to his excellent progress he was entered into the Scottish Squad trials in January.
Steven, his parents and coaches were delighted to learn last week that he had been selected for the Scottish Under 10 primary 4 squad thus becoming the first gymnast who started in the Jumping Beans to make the Scottish Squad.
Robert Callahan added " Although Steven is the first to make this breakthrough we have a number of other talented boys and girls in the clubs at the School of Gymnastics and we hope that many of them will also be selected for the Scottish Squads in the coming year.
Steven lives at Fairways Avenue Maddiston. His favourite gymnastics apparatus is Rings and Parallel Bars.
