Finnian McNeill

I was born in Los Angeles and started gymnastics at age 5.5. Before that, I did several other sports: little league, basketball, swimming and soccer. It was at a birthday party at a gymnastics place where they told my mother that I definitely need to sign up for gymnastics. So I did. (My mom was a gymnast as a kid, and she also taught gymnastics, and so she helps me out a lot in between practices.) We moved to Atlanta in 2016, and I spent a year in pre-team before starting to compete in 2017 just before my 8th birthday. I had a fantastic year as a level 4 gymnast and took 1st at the Region 8 championship, scoring a perfect P-bars score. We moved back to Los Angeles in August 2018, and since then I compete with Gymnastics Olympica. Currently I am a level 5 gymnast. My best events this year have been pommel and rings, but I'm getting stronger on floor and p-bars as the year progresses. My Coaches are Coach Eric, Coach Tiko, Coach Mamvel and Coach Nico. My teammates are strong gymnasts, which motivates me to catch up to them and be great like them.
