Georgina Cassar

Cassar began training in ballet at the age of three.^[6] Cassar represented Gibraltar at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India. She came 16th in the overall competition.^[4] In 2012, she travelled to Bath to train full-time with the Olympic team. While there, she studied A-levels in psychology, biology and PE at King Edward's School.^[7] She planned on remaining in Bath for her second year of A-levels following the games.^[8]

Cassar competed for Team GB at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom.^[4] She could not represent her native Gibraltar because the Gibraltar Olympic Committee is not recognised by the International Olympic Committee; however, using a similar by-law to Anguillan long jumper Shara Proctor and Turks and Caicos Islander Delano Williams, Cassar was eligible to represent the United Kingdom as Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory and so she holds a British passport.^[9] She is the first athlete from Gibraltar to compete at the Olympic Games.^[8][10]

Cassar appeared on 10 August with the rest of Team GB. They came in 12th and failed to make the finals.^[10]
