THE LION'S DEN Tanglin Gymnasts Learn from Olympic and Commonwealth Champions This past weekend, Tanglin Trust School had the privilege of hosting British gymnastics legends Kelly Simm and Claudia Fragapane for a truly inspiring workshop with our Competitive and Performance Squad gymnasts. With outstanding international careers representing Team GB at the Olympic Games, World Championships, European Championships, and Commonwealth Games, both athletes brought a wealth of experience, energy, and motivation to the gym. The day was packed with learning, covering key technical areas including beam complex, bar drills, floor tumbling basics, and choreography. Just as valuable were the lessons shared off the equipment, Kelly and Claudia spoke openly about overcoming injuries, surgeries, mental blocks, and the challenges of staying motivated during long recoveries. Their honesty and encouragement resonated strongly with the gymnasts, who also gained valuable insight into balancing school, training, and competing commitments, as well as practical tips on nutrition and performance preparation.
