Jaelle Cohen

      

From an auspicious start in Rhythmic Gymnastics after seeing an advertisement in her school newsletter, Cohen has gone on to cement her position in the Australian team with some solid international performances.

At the 2014 Australian Gymnastics Championships she was crowned the Hoop national champion and finished second on both Clubs and Ribbon.

Cohen capitalised on the international competition experience she gained at the 2014 Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships where she qualified for the Ball, Clubs, and Ribbon finals, and reached the All-Around final at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games before ultimately finishing 14th.

She trains at Meriden Rhythmic Gymnastics Centre in Sydney with coach Danielle Le Ray.
