Dibb World Champion<br />

By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />

Bronwyn Dibb, from<br />

Rangiora­based Ice<br />

Trampoline and<br />

Gymnastics <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong>, is aWorld<br />

Champion.<br />

Dibb took out the<br />

women’s double mini<br />

trampoline title last<br />

Saturday morning, at<br />

Sofia in Bulgaria, ahead<br />

of the United States and<br />

Australia.<br />

It was an extremely<br />

close final. Dibb scored<br />

just 0.1 ahead of silver —<br />

with only 0.900<br />

separating gold and<br />

bronze.<br />

Her world title comes<br />

just four months after<br />

winning silver at the<br />

<strong>2022</strong> World Games.<br />

‘‘To become aworld<br />

champion and win the<br />

gold medal is adream<br />

come true and makes all<br />

the hard work, time,<br />

effort, and sacrifices all<br />

worth it.<br />

‘‘I am so grateful for<br />

the opportunity to get<br />

out on the world stage<br />

and represent my<br />

country and for<br />

everyone who has<br />

supported me on my<br />

journey to this day’’<br />

‘‘I was shocked when I<br />

realised that Ihad won<br />

gold.<br />

‘‘It was very exciting<br />

waiting for the scores<br />

from the other finalists,<br />

keeping the faith one<br />

after another until the<br />

final result.<br />

‘‘I could not be<br />

happier,’’ she says.<br />

New Zealand’s last<br />

double mini world<br />

champion was Kylie<br />

Walker back in 1998,<br />

who was also coached by<br />

Dibb’s coach Nigel<br />

Humphreys.<br />

Humphreys says it<br />

hard to believe <strong>24</strong> years<br />

has gone by since<br />

Walker’s World<br />

Championship win.<br />

‘‘As acoach you<br />

always hope for another<br />

‘once in alifetime<br />

athlete’ but most are not<br />

as fortunate as me.<br />

‘‘Bronwyn is such a<br />

special person and<br />

dedicated to being the<br />

best she can be.’’<br />

As asecondary event,<br />

Dibb competed in the<br />

synchronised<br />

trampoline competition<br />

with Tokyo Olympian<br />

Madaline Davidson<br />

(Olympia Gymnastic<br />

Sports, Christchurch)<br />

where the pair finished<br />

16th.<br />

World champion ... Bronwyn Dibb, who won the<br />

women’s double mini trampolinetitle and the World<br />

title at Sofia, Bulgaria.<br />
