Enid Sung


         

2017 saw Sung come out of retirement from competitive Rhythmic Gymnastics in the lead up to the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. Fighting off injuries, Sung managed to win Silver at the final selection event - the 2018 Rhythmic Gymnastics Australia Cup - cementing her place on her first Comm. Games team.

To recapture form, Sung stayed busy in early 2017 competing on the international circuit at the Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cups in Sofia and Portimao in the lead up to the 2017 Australian Gymnastics Championships. 

Her breakthrough tournament was in the 2009 Australian Youth Olympic Festival, when she came third overall in the All-Apparatus, and second in the teams’ final. 

Consistent results in 2010 awarded Sung selection for her maiden World Championships appearance, where she came 19th in the teams’ final.
