Claire Arthur

                                                          
         

Arthur started gymnastics at age four, initially starting with WAG, maintaining her training for seven years before making the move to Trampoline training at 11 years of age.

Arthur’s first National competition, in 2008, resulted in a sixth place finish on Trampoline.  The next year, she began to compete internationally, finishing fifth in the Indo-Pacific Trampoline Championships, and fourth in the Synchronised Trampoline.

In 2011, she finished 11th in the World Age Championship for Synchronised Trampoline, but by 2013 she had managed to improve her personal best standing to eighth.

In 2015, Arthur completed a hat-trick of titles in the National Trampoline competition. To follow this success, Claire Arthur placed 4th in Synchronised Trampoline at the 2016 Australian National Championships where she was also selected to be a member of the Australian National Trampoline Squad. 

Claire Arthur is also currently one of many that was selected to be a part the Tokyo Olympic Games Campaign and is aiming to purse Australia's fortunes in key events in this Olympic Cycle and beyond.
