Penelope Blackmore (born 23 April 1984) is a retired Australian rhythmic gymnast.[1] She represented her country internationally.
Biography
Penelope started rhythmic gymnastics when she was twelve years old, training five hours a day, six days a week. In 1998 she moved with her family from Melbourne to Sydney. A year later she was selected to compete at both the 1999 World Championships in Osaka and the Four Continents Competition in Jacksonville.[2]
In 2003 she became the Australian national champion. She also competed in the World Championships in Budapest where she finished 49th in the All-Around and 24th in teams.[3][4]
In 2004 she again won the Australian national championships (2nd Hoop, 1st Ball, 2nd Clubs, 1st Ribbon) which gave her the opportunity to qualify as a wild card entrant in the Athens Olympic Games. There she finished 23rd in the qualification round and thus didn't advance to the final.[5][6]
After the Games, Blackmore announced her retirement from the sport. She now lives in Germany and runs an organisation that assists businesses to transition and evolve in the digital age.[2]
