Alia told the British Gymnastics website:

“It feels great. I wasn’t expecting to come first. I was aiming for top six but it just got better so I’m really happy. I started floor and my double-pike I bounced out a little but the rest of my tumbles were okay and got a good score. Then I did vault and it was alright but could’ve gone a bit better. My bars I went through and I was happy. And then my beam was really good, I was really happy. It was crazy (to see my name number one on the scoreboard), I just looked up at my mum and was so happy. I really want to be in GB squad and then I’d like to go to the Olympics and win a medal on beam.”

Congratulations to Alia on an incredible achievement. We look forward to seeing her compete in the Olympics in future!
