“I first participated at the International World Championships in 2017 in Australia and I can’t wait to outdo myself in the individual routine as well as the team routine this year at the championships,” Moeletsi said.
He said his passion for gymnastics and aerobics started at age 11 while attending Makgwaraneng Primary School in Atteridgeville and when the opportunity of joining the school team came, he signed up.
Soon after that he competed at the provincial games, at which he placed first.
