Jannah Ashour: A Rising Star!

From Level 2 to State Champion in Just Three Years!

Jannah, a young gymnast, balances gracefully on the beam during training at Sydney Hills Gymnastics.

In 2022, Jannah walked into Sydney Hills Gymnastics, eager to begin her gymnastics journey. What began as a hopeful start quickly turned into an impressive rise, as this determined young gymnast rapidly progressed through the levels of Women’s Artistic Gymnastics, achieving remarkable results in just a few short years.

Starting in Level 2, Jannah’s natural talent, dedication and love of gymnastics have quickly set her apart. Fast forward to today, at just 10 years old, Jannah is competing at Senior Levels and has quickly become a leading Level 8 Under 14 gymnast. Training an impressive 27.5 hours a week, including two early morning sessions, Jannah’s commitment is nothing short of extraordinary.

Jannah’s success at the Gymnastics NSW State Championships shows just how far she has come. In her Senior debut, she claimed the title of NSW State Champion and earned a place on the NSW Team for the Australian Gymnastics Championships, taking place on the Gold Coast from July 3 to 17, 2025.

Her results:

    • 1st All-Around
