Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that Ms Caitlin Rooskrantz, a 17-year-old gymnast hailing from Johannesburg, made history when she became the first South African to win a gold medal at an international gymnastics competition;
2) further notes that Ms Rooskrantz -
a) won a gold medal in the uneven bars while competing at the International Gymnastics Federation, FIG, World Women's and Men's Artistic Gymnastics Challenge Cup held in
September in Hungary, beating seasoned competitors from Great Britain and Spain; and
b) qualified to compete at the 2020 Olympic Games after achieving a total score of 49,466 while competing in Stuttgart, Germany, in October 2019;
3) acknowledges that Ms Rooskrantz's international victory and Olympic Games qualification follows her successes achieved in 2018 and 2019, when she won the South African Championships and the 2018 African Championships, where she was crowned the All Round Champion after receiving the highest score overall in four separate disciplines;
4) further acknowledges that Ms Rooskrantz's coach described her as one of the hardest working athletes that she had ever worked with, noting that she is a fighter who managed to come back
from a series of injuries to achieve great success in her gymnastics career;
5) congratulates Ms Rooskrantz on her outstanding achievements, and especially her historical win in Hungary and qualification for the 2020 Olympic Games; and
6) wishes her every success in Germany, where she will be competing in the 44th Turnier der Meister FIG Individual Apparatus World Cup in November.
Agreed to.
