Early life[edit]

Career[edit]

Moore won the under-12 category at the 2015 Australian Championships by only 0.065 after falling off the horizontal bar twice.[3] He went on to win three more consecutive national all-around titles in his age group from 2016 to 2018.[2] He made his international debut in 2018 and won a bronze medal on the horizontal bar at the 2018 Pacific Rim Championships.[4] He competed at the 2019 Junior World Championships, helping Australia placed 12th as a team and finishing 25th in the all-around.[5][6] He qualified for the horizontal bar final and placed seventh.[7]

In the event finals, he won silver on floor exercise and parallel bars.[9]

In 2022, Moore received a scholarship from the Sport Australia Hall of Fame to fund his training.[8] He was the youngest member of Australia's artistic gymnastics team at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.[2] The Australian team placed fourth, 0.650 away from a medal.[10] He withdrew after the third rotation of the all-around final due to a shoulder injury.[1] He then withdrew from the horizontal bar final.[11] He still competed in the pommel horse event final and placed sixth.[12] He had surgery on his shoulder after the competition.[13]

Moore only competed on the floor exercise at the 2023 Australian Championships, placing tenth.[14] He was the alternate for the 2023 World Championships team.[15]
