“Daniel has shown he is not simply a specialist, he is a great all-arounder!” said his personal coach, Paul Hall. “From here everything is about the Olympic Games, Grand Prix in Moscow and Barcelona, and then the final finishing touches and lots of confidence for Beijing. And my hope for Huntingdon Olympic Gym Club is for Daniel, Louis and Marissa [King] to represent Great Britain in Beijing!”
