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 />

competitors around me and the<br />
way car behaves as well as the<br />
trackisall goingtobevery new to<br />
me,’’hesaid. ‘‘I’m just looking<br />
