National Gymnastics Competition in Penang
Over the weekend, a National Age-group Gymnastics Competition was held at the Majlis Sukan Negeri (Penang State Sports Council) complex at Batu Uban. Teams from all the states in Malaysia turned up for the three-day competition from 17th to 19th November. It’s fun to watch these primary school boys and girls performing their routines for the judges. Don’t forget the fans… Joesph is too young to join in but he enjoyed watching the tumbles and taking photographs with papa’s camera.
