Aine Matthews

Aine Matthews (Age 15)

Aine began her gymnastics journey at the age of 6, and her passion for the sport quickly grew. By the age of 10, she was selected to join the Isle of Man Island squad.

In 2022, she won the FIG Espoir category at the Isle of Man Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Championships. She followed this with a win in the Junior category in 2023. That same year, Aine competed in the special inter-island gymnastics event held in Åland, as gymnastics was not part of the main Island Games in Guernsey. She helped her team secure the senior girls’ artistic gymnastics team title — a proud achievement her and for the Isle of Man.

In 2024, Aine retained her junior title and also won the all-around FIG title at the Isle of Man Championships. She was part of the teams selected to represent the Isle of Man at both the 2023 and 2024 Northern European Championships, gaining valuable experience on the international stage.

She is currently part of the team due to compete at the Island Games in Orkney in 2025 and is looking forward to the opportunity to represent her island once again.
