Flynn comes from Christchurch and joined the sport of competitive Trampolining in 2017 as an 8 year old, and quickly discovered his love of jumping, performing skills and competing
He was a committed athlete and enjoyed progressing quickly from local age level competitions in New Zealand, to being selected at age 9 to represent New Zealand at the 2018 Australian Gymnastics competition
His efforts were also profiled that year in local newspapers, and on NZ children’s television programme “What Now” in July this year.
