Debuting at the Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games, Mitchell won five medals, four of them gold including the women’s all-around event and as part of Australia’s gold medal-winning team. The Subiaco native returned at the Glasgow 2014 Games to add two silver medals to her career haul. A two-time Olympian having represented Australia at the Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Games, Mitchell made history at the 2010 World Gymnastics Championships winning the women’s floor event, becoming the first Australian gymnast to win a world championships gold medal.
