Baltimore, MD – Feb. 26, 2025 - Baltimore’s gymnastics community has a new reason to celebrate! Nine talented athletes from the Bas Melech Gymnastics Team recently traveled to Miami to compete in the National Girls Jewish Gymnastics League—and they didn’t just participate; they dominated.

The team placed in all areas and across all the age ranges and brought home multiple medals proving that their dedication and hard work paid off in a big way. 

Medals won by the Bas Melech team:

1st, 2nd and 3rd place on beam

1st, 3rd, 4th and 8th place for floor

3rd and 4th place on bar

1st, 2nd and 3rd place for all around

(Ages 13-17)

3rd place for beam

2nd place for floor

6th place for bar

4th, 5th and 12th for all around

(Ages 11-12)

8th and 9th place for beam

6th place for floor

8th and 9th place for bar

7th and 9th place for all around

(Ages 6-10)

But this achievement didn’t happen overnight. The girls pushed themselves beyond their limits, mastering routines that required strength, precision, and unwavering focus. Their commitment was matched by the relentless dedication of their coaches, who fine-tuned every skill and provided the guidance needed to perform at an elite level. 

At the heart of this journey was Mrs. Goldberg, whose unwavering belief in each girl played a crucial role in their success. In fact, just a few weeks before the competition, the team wasn’t even sure they were ready. It wasn’t until Mrs. Goldberg submitted a video to the league organizer—who approved their participation—that they realized they had what it took to compete on a bigger stage. 

This is just the beginning for Bas Melech gymnastics. The Jewish gymnastics world will be seeing a lot more from these talented young athletes. 

Baltimore, get ready—the future of Jewish gymnastics is here, and it’s brighter than ever!
