Clapham’s own Milan Fraser has been nominated for Young Person of the Year at the British Gymnastics Awards 2025, and she couldn’t be more thrilled.
Her passion for gymnastics and dedication to making the sport accessible to everyone have earned her this prestigious nod.
Milan, a standout at Clapham Gymnastics Club, is not just focused on perfecting her routines but also on inspiring others. Reflecting on the nomination, she shared her excitement:
“Being a finalist for this gymnastics award makes me feel so happy and inspired! I always try my best, not just in gymnastics but in school too, where I’ve earned the most house points for helping others.”
Milan credits gymnastics with teaching her discipline and confidence, skills she now passes on to younger gymnasts. For her, the recognition is a testament to hard work paying off.
The British Gymnastics Awards celebrate those who embody the sport’s values—inclusivity, aspiration, and support. With a record number of nominations this year, the event is set to honour individuals and clubs who make gymnastics safe, fun, and welcoming for all.
Sarah Powell, CEO of British Gymnastics, praised the dedication of nominees like Milan:
“This year’s record-breaking nominations highlight the incredible passion and commitment within the gymnastics community. To all finalists, congratulations—you are an inspiration to us all.”
Milan’s journey is not just about personal success; it’s about showing others that with dedication and support, anything is possible. She’s especially grateful to her mum, who has been her biggest supporter.
The awards ceremony will celebrate Milan and other inspiring individuals, putting a well-deserved spotlight on those making a difference in gymnastics and beyond.
