The championship aimed to provide female gymnasts from all over the city, irrespective of demographics, with the opportunity to compete on a professional level. The championship was held on the 16th of November at DA Zamzama Club with judges from the Sindh Association of Pakistan.
Sarwat Gilani, a Pakistani actress who supports philanthropic endeavors, served as the chief guest for the event. She presented the winning teams with the trophies and medals, and the event commenced with a dynamic cheerleading performance by the gymnasts of Khel and Mr. Mazhar, an international cheerleader, and his troupe.
Women's participation in sports and athletic activities is a rising phenomenon with many young girls showing interest in pursuing gymnastics that is yet to be discovered. To encourage and promote female participation in gymnastics, the championship served to support and welcome rising female gymnasts to compete and hone their skills to a proficient standard and was a step forward in creating accessible and inclusive opportunities for young girls.
