Mary-Anne Monckton

Mary-Anne Monckton (born 16 November 1994) is an Australian artistic gymnast. She won two silver medals at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and has represented Australia at three world championships (2011, 2014, 2015). In 2020, she was the first of several former gymnasts to speak out about a "toxic" culture within the country's elite programme.

Personal life Monckton first took up gymnastics because her cousin Melissa did it. At first, she didn't like the sport, but her cousin was persistent in taking her because she had too much energy.

She has said she admires Catalina Ponor because of her "amazing work ethic". Her best apparatus is the balance beam, and her favourite skill on the beam is the aerial cartwheel. She said being selected for the 2014 Commonwealth Games was her best moment in her gymnastics career so far. Monckton also qualified for the balance beam final, where she scored 13.666 and earned a second silver medal.
