Tara Donnelly targeting strong start to 2023

Friday, 3 February 2023 08:05

Manx athlete eyeing success at national competition this weekend

Manx gymnast Tara Donnelly says she's fully-focused on making a strong start to competition for 2023.

The Island competitor - currently based in the UK - will represent Loughborough University this weekend (4-5 February) at the BUCS Gymnastics Championships in Leicester.

The 2021 Isle of Man Sportswoman of the year's preparations got underway after a short break from the sport after the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham last summer.

With a national competition looming this weekend, she's hoping it could set her up nicely for more opportunities in the months ahead:
