BROOKLYN Leonard and Paris Warncken have done the Coffs Coast proud with a top result on the world stage.

The dynamic duo finished fifth in the Adult Duo Final at the FISAF International World Sports Aerobics and Fitness Championships in the Czech Republic.

The Coffs Harbour duo qualified for the World Championships after a third-place finish in the Adult International Duo event at the National Championships in Brisbane.

The pair’s top five placing in the Czech Republic capped off a fantastic year for the B Wild Fitness and Sport Aerobics team, whose members achieved outstanding results at both the State and National Championships.

After previously representing Australia, Leonard said it was great to be back on the world stage.

“What a feeling it was to be back on the world stage with Paris Warncken, and the amount of support we had from the Australian team,” she said.

“Our first year being our own coaches pushing each other to our absolute limit.

“We are leaving that world stage knowing we could not have fought hard enough.”

Both Leonard and Warncken have previously experienced success together at the FISAF World Aerobic Championships.

They won silver medals as part of a Coffs Harbour-based team, during the 2015 event held in the Caribbean.
