A young Clara gymnast has taken home a medal from the London Spring Cup 2026.

Nine-year-old Eire Phelan took home the Bronze medal for hoop.

She is one of three young gymnasts from Wings Rhythmic Gymnastics Club in Westmeath to bring home a medal from the London Spring Cup 2026, competing against 93 athletes from Finland, Lithuania, Great Britain, and more.

These athletes train 10 hours weekly at Wings, the only rhythmic gymnastics club in the Midlands, preparing for international competitions.

Their coach, Enya Tierney, said: "The girls were really punching above their weight going against very well established club from all over Europe, and they didn't only do great in the field of play but also outside it.

"They were focused and really respectful of other competitors. Hopefully this inspires other young girls to be confident in sports and aim big."
