The Europeans are just before my GCSEs, so I’ll have to take work with me – if I make the team, of course! If you are selected for the European championships in April, how will you fit your academic work around the gymnastics? This year is my GCSE year, so quite a big year!

In a normal week, how many hours a day do you train? We train at different clubs because the Academy doesn’t do boys gymnastics.

My parents didn’t have anything to do with gymnastics, but we had so much energy when we were younger, they had to take us somewhere, so we went to gymnastics. I have a twin brother – he does gymnastics too. Tell us about your family and how you got into gymnastics. I just have so much support behind me, I think that’s what makes the difference. All my coaches – especially Liz, I couldn’t have done it without her – and my teammates. My family has been with me since day one, they’ve supported me so much. What has been the biggest factor in your success? Yeah, definitely! I’m so excited to get out there and perform as a senior, this year and hopefully, more to come.
