Erin Pinder feels “really good” to be representing Barbados as the first female gymnast at a Commonwealth Games.

She’s in Birmingham now.

In an interview she told the reporter, “It’s a happy feeling and I’m also kinda scared because, you know, a lot of pressure. But I’m pretty happy to represent my country, to be the first female gymnast to represent gymnastics for my country.”

Pinder, who started at age 4, said, “and I’ve loved it ever since.”

So far, Pinder has performed in the Floor Exercise during the Artistic Gymnastics Women’s Team Final and Individual Qualification during the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games at the Arena Birmingham, England.
