Georgina Cassar

Georgina Cassar is a Gibraltarian and British rhythmic gymnast, born on 9 September 1993 in Welwyn Garden City to a Maltese father and an English mother. Her family settled in Gibraltar in 1996 and she began ballet training at the age of three. She represented Gibraltar at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, finishing 16th overall, and later moved to Bath to train full time with the Olympic team. At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London she competed for Team GB, because the Gibraltar Olympic Committee is not recognised by the International Olympic Committee, and she became the first athlete from Gibraltar to compete at an Olympic Games. Team GB finished 12th and did not reach the final.
