4:54am Thursday 27th December 2007
Young gymnasts from Bolton Arena struck gold in their first rhythmic gymnastics competition.
Holly and Megan Meeson and Bethany McKay competed in the North West Pairs and Trios Competition at Stockport Leisure Centre.
Competing as a trio with the ball, in pairs with a rope and individually with the ribbon, the girls won their age group - 12 years and under - and received medals and a trophy.
Bolton Arena gymnastics coach, Cath Prince, said: "This is a fantastic result, especially considering this was their first ever competition. The girls have worked really hard and they fully deserve their success."
Their next individual competition is in March.
More than 350 children currently attend gymnastics courses at Bolton Arena, and courses run throughout the year. For more information, call 01204 488131.
