Couch Gymnast:
Remember cute little Hannah Whelan? She was the tiny little thing in the British Beijing Olympic Team, who then kind of disappeared off the International elite scene?
Well, it seem the gymnast, who trains at Liverpoool under Sarah Attwell has been nursing a wrist inury for the last while. She is all grown up and, it seems, she is back and in form, as she has taken the senior AA title at the British National Championships (57.800), followed by Nicole Hibbert (55.80) and then, in third place was Danusia Francis (55.350). …
Hannah said: “ I’m really, really happy! I didn’t have any aims or expectations coming into the competition. So to then go out and win is just incredible. I’ve had injury problems so to then return and become British Champion is fantastic.”
