Opening ceremony welcomes visiting athletes
More than a hundred gymnasts from eight island nations are taking part in the Inter-Island Games competition, which begins today.
It's being hosted at the Ellan Vannin Gymnastics Club in Douglas over the next three days, after the sport was omitted from the official Island Games schedule at the recent event in Gibraltar.
Visiting athletes from Aland, Cayman Islands, Gotland, Guernsey, Jersey, Shetland and Ynys Mon will join their Manx counterparts as they battle it out for medals.
Isabel Hester has competed for the Isle of Man on a number of occasions and currently represents Loughborough University.
She spoke to Manx Radio Sport at the opening ceremony on Wednesday night:
Cycling: Bostock nominated for national champion of the year
Football: Railway Cup hopefuls all maintain pace in premier league
Rugby: Vagabonds Ladies stay top with another victory
Hockey: Harlequins A beat rivals to close in on prem leaders
