A young Jamaican rhythmic gymnastics team representing Nila’s Academy delivered an impressive performance at the Torneo Las Flores competition in Costa Rica, returning home with a remarkable medal haul after competing against athletes from across the world.

The international tournament brought together approximately 260 athletes from 23 clubs across nine countries including host country Costa Rica, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Chile, Peru, and Azerbaijan, creating a competitive environment for the young gymnasts, many of whom were competing on the global stage for the first time.

After months of training and preparation, the Jamaican delegation, coached by Nileyam Molina and Hidahilda Simón Rodríguez, arrived in Costa Rica on May 11 and began preparations with training sessions on May 12. On May 13 and 14, the athletes participated in masterclasses led by Olympic gymnast Polina Berezina, providing the team with invaluable exposure to elite-level coaching and technique.
