Athlete profile: Ewan McIlraith

I have competed in two inter island games for gymnastics hosted by Anglesey in 2015 where I competed as part of the boys artistic gymnastics junior team in which I won two gold medals for set and FIG pommel horse.I have competed in Aland for the senior men’s artistic gymnastics team in 2023 inter island games achieving a team silver medal,a bronze medal on rings for the set routine and a personal best in the FIG competition.

My favourite apparatus is the rings

This will be my first island games and I aim to compete new skills and achieving a team gold along with a clean competition and medalling in the FIG competition.

I have been attending Loughborough University studying a sport science degree and learnt how to become a better gymnast.

I would like to thank my teammates and coaches who have helped me improve and pushed me to overcome mental blocks in my gymnastics and prep me for this competition.
