Stick The Landing is an independent, free resource built for the Victorian gymnastics community. I bring together competition results across Women's Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) and Men's Artistic Gymnastics (MAG) into a single, searchable home: live season leaderboards, personal athlete profiles, apparatus graphs, and competition reports, all updated throughout the year.
I try to cover every competition of the Victorian competitive season, from the first development competitions of the year through to State Trials and more, but coverage depends on what Gymnastics Victoria has published results for. If your club runs a competition that isn't showing up here, please get in touch. If you can send me the results, I'll add them to the database and write up the competition.
Gymnasts, coaches, club administrators, and families can track all-around standings, apparatus rankings, personal bests, and head-to-head histories in one place, rather than hunting across individual score sheets.
What you can explore
Season leaderboards: for every level and apparatus in WAG and MAG, ranked by season-best score and updated after every competition. Filter by level, apparatus, or club to zero in on the rankings that matter to you.
Athlete profiles: each gymnast in the database has a dedicated profile page showing every result and every apparatus score recorded for them since 2024, across every competition they've entered. Profiles include interactive performance graphs so you can track progress across the year at a glance.
Apparatus rankings and graphs: see how an athlete's Vault, Bars, Beam, or Floor scores have trended across the season, or compare their apparatus strengths in a radar chart against the level benchmark.
Competition reports and analysis: alongside the data, I publish in-depth competition reports that put the numbers in context, covering the closest finishes, the standout performances, and the storylines that don't appear in a raw score sheet.
Building the database: the work behind the numbers
Official Gymnastics Victoria results are published as PDFs after each competition. These documents are detailed and authoritative, but they are designed for printing, not for searching or comparing across events. Each competition produces a separate file, athletes may be listed under slightly different name spellings at different events, and the format varies across disciplines and levels.
After every competition, I work through the official result publications, extracting each score, verifying it, and normalising it into a consistent structure. That means resolving name variations (an athlete entered as "Emma J." at one competition and "Emma Jones" at another), standardising club names, reconciling level classifications, and cross-checking totals against individual apparatus scores. Every record in the database traces back to an official Gymnastics Victoria result document.
The result is a unified, searchable database covering multiple seasons, thousands of athletes, and tens of thousands of individual scores, something that does not exist anywhere else in Australian club gymnastics.
If you spot a discrepancy, such as a missing result, an incorrect score, or a name that hasn't been matched correctly, please get in touch and I will fix it promptly.
Understanding the Victorian gymnastics season
The Victorian artistic gymnastics season is split across two halves of the year. The senior season runs from around February through to May or June, culminating in the Senior Victorian Championships. The junior season then kicks off from around June and runs through to October, with the Junior Victorian Championships as its centrepiece. Both seasons are structured around a series of sanctioned competitions held at clubs and venues across Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Women's Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) is contested across a wide range of levels. Competitive athletes enter from Level 3 upwards, progressing through to Level 10, with each level having defined code requirements for the four apparatus: Vault, Uneven Bars, Balance Beam, and Floor Exercise. At the top of the ladder, international-level athletes compete across Developing International, Future International, Junior International, and Senior International categories.
Men's Artistic Gymnastics (MAG) follows a similar structure, with athletes progressing through developmental and competitive levels across six apparatus: Floor, Pommel Horse, Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars, and High Bar.
Key competitions in the Victorian calendar include the State Trials (used for national selection), the Border Challenge (a cross-border invitational with New South Wales clubs), the Waverley Invitational, and the Senior and Junior Victorian Championships, the headline events for their respective halves of the year.
News and articles
Numbers alone don't tell the whole story of a season. Alongside the leaderboards, I publish competition reports, analysis pieces, and community updates that cover the Victorian season in depth, including the margins that decided titles, the athletes building momentum, and the context behind the scores.
Independence
Stick The Landing is not affiliated with Gymnastics Victoria, Gymnastics Australia, or any club. It is a community resource, built and maintained independently, and provided free of charge to anyone who wants to use it. My only interest is making the sport more accessible and transparent for everyone involved in it.
The person behind it
My name is David Tonkin (Tonko, to those who've known me long enough). I'm a former MAG gymnast, though I'll be the first to admit my career peaked well below the elite end of the sport. After gymnastics I spent years as a competition Latin and Ballroom dancer, competing seriously before eventually retiring from that world too.
When I was a young gymnast, my club didn't even own a set of rings. All I had to go on was the technical handbook, which I read and re-read until I had the compulsory routine memorised, and once a month, sometimes less, I'd get an hour on a rival club's rings to actually try it. I went to the NT Championships four years running and sat on the floor every single time, never once called up for a medal. Then, the year of my last State Championships, the compulsory routine changed, and somehow every other club in the state interpreted the new version incorrectly. Mine was a small club with volunteer coaches doing their best, nobody had the time to sit down and pick apart a rule change with me, so it came down to the handbook, and I knew it exactly as written. On the day I put up the most mediocre routine you've ever seen, but it was the correct one, and every other gymnast in the field picked up deductions I didn't. For the first time in five years, I got called up. Gold on Rings, my only state medal, for a routine I'd practised maybe five times that whole year.
Gymnastics has never really left my family, though. My mother was a gymnastics coach and judge. My eldest sister was a Rhythmic Gymnastics Level 7 Australian Champion. And now my own daughter trains close to twenty hours a week in WAG Level 4, and she would have words with me if I didn't mention that she was part of the 2025 Metro Southeast Regional Level 3 Champion team.
At some point you stop fighting it. The sport finds you, it follows you, and then it shows up in the next generation. I took the red pill a long time ago. Stick The Landing is my way of being properly involved, and putting something genuinely useful back into the community that has shaped so much of my family's life.
Why every gymnast deserves to feel like a pro
Australia doesn't have anything like the NCAA college gymnastics culture in the US, where a weekly competition can fill an arena and a gymnast gets treated like a Rock Star. That culture doesn't really exist here, and realistically, most gymnasts will never get near the Olympics, or even come close. But none of that means a Division 3 gymnast is working any less hard than an elite-level one, or that their results matter any less to them.
That's the whole idea behind this site. I want every gymnast in my database, whatever their level or division, to feel like their results matter. If a gymnast takes third on beam at a small competition in the western suburbs, and it was a genuinely close call, I want that written up properly. Why shouldn't they feel special for that? For a lot of these athletes, a Level 5 Division 3 bronze medal means the world, and it deserves to be treated that way, not filed away as a footnote.
So you'll see me write up small regional competitions that would otherwise never get an article at all. And where the data shows a gymnast quietly improving all season without ever standing on a podium, I want to call that out too, the way a sports magazine profiles the players to watch next season. My own daughter is a far better gymnast than I ever was, by a significant margin, and watching her come up through this sport is a big part of why I care about this. Every gymnast in this database has put in the hours. I'd like this site to be one place where that shows.
Frequently asked questions
