Young gymnast Coral Victoria Caamaño Mateo, at just 12 years old, won the title of national champion in women’s artistic gymnastics at level 6. The achievement was realized during the National Championship Stars of the Future, an event organized by the Dominican Gymnastics Federation (FEDOGIM).
Caamaño demonstrated her skill by obtaining five gold medals, showcasing her mastery in each apparatus. Her scores were outstanding: 9.575 on floor, 9.700 on vault, 9.500 on uneven bars, and 9.325 on beam. These results solidify her as a promising figure in Dominican gymnastics, representing the National District.
Coral’s success is a reflection of her discipline, talent, and dedication, as well as the work of her coaches Xavier Veloz and Marian Parra from the OD Gymnastics Academy Club, who have significantly contributed to her training.
