Good question.
Great Britain Women’s team was only 1.425 points behind Russia at Europeans!
I’m impressed because this question comes from LOUD Channel 5 Action News sports correspondent and BlaccuWeather man Ollie Williams on Family Guy …
Wait a minute …
It’s the other Ollie Williams, young BBC reporter. I hear he’s become a total gymnastics nut.
… The GB team are leaving the European Championships with a total of 15 medals (senior boys: team silver, individual gold, silver and bronze; junior boys: team gold, four individual golds, a silver and two bronze; senior girls: team silver, two individual golds).
That total is unprecedented, particularly the success of both the junior and senior men’s teams, who have for decades toiled in the lower echelons of world gymnastics.
Why, though, is this all happening now? Who has flicked a switch to turn Britain from a gymnastics also-ran to a world power with an eye on medals at a home Olympics? Is it all down to money?
Actually, one reason for this success may be down to a lack of cash. …
an important read – BBC Sport – Why are Britain’s gymnasts suddenly so good?
I’m sure if you ask Paul about how sudden their success is, … he’ll laugh.
