Matilda Tarlinton

Matilda loves Calisthenics because it brings together so many things she enjoys, dancing, performing, storytelling through movement, and working as a team. She finds joy in pushing herself to improve, even when tricks are tough at first, and nothing beats the feeling of nailing a routine after lots of hard work. What she values most are the strong friendships she’s built and the confidence Calisthenics has given her. One of her proudest achievements is moving into the Open section for both her Solo and Duo with her best friend. 

Outside of Calisthenics, Matilda is involved in several other sports and loves catching up with friends, chatting, laughing, and spending time together. She also enjoys writing as a creative outlet to express herself and stay organised. This year, she started high school and was inspired by a teacher whose fun, engaging classes sparked a new dream... to one day become a teacher herself. With both her Nan and Aunty also in education, Matilda hopes to follow in their footsteps and make learning fun for future students.
