Teenage sensation Kaisey Griffith bagged another three gold medals to add to the five she collected earlier in the week as Bermuda's gymnastics team dominated again on the final day of Island Games competition at the Bollhalla gym yesterday.

In the Individual Set routines, Griffith came out tops in the Floor Exercises, the Asymmetric Bars and the Beam, and team-mate Morgan Beckles made sure of a gold sweep for Bermuda as she won the Vault while Griffith collected silver in the same discipline.

Adding to the medal haul was Caitlyn Mello who won silver on the Floor and bronze on the Beam.

More than 40 gymnasts from seven islands competed yesterday but, as has been the case all week, it was the young Bermuda team who took centre stage, Griffith in particular.

Having been a part of the squad that won the team competition on Monday, she collected another four gold on Wednesday and with yesterday's three, she'll bring back a personal haul of eight golds when the team return on Sunday.

Altogether the gymnasts have snatched 22 medals during the three days of competition, drawing praise from the judges and their rivals.

Mello and Hannah King came close to adding to the tally yesterday with fourth place finishes on the Floor and Bars.

Competing for the first time this week was Bermuda reserve Rosie Finnigan who placed 10th in the Asymmetric Bars, 12th on the Vault and 26th on the Beam
