Bad timing.
… he’s already on a big rehab programme and is working to try and qualify for the European Champs and hopefully to make the grade for the Olympic Games,’ said coach Paul Hall. …
But GBR has depth. They could still do well at Europeans without Dan starting each apparatus for them, as he did at the London Test Meet.
Opus Energy asked Dan what he most admires most about his team mates:
Louis Smith – he really knows how to handle pressure and nothing fazes him;
Reiss Beckford – really has the ‘wow’ factor with some amazing big skills;
Daniel Purvis – unbelievable work ethic, he just never stops;
Sam Hunter – dedicated to gymnastics and a true professional;
Kristian Thomas – also works unbelievably hard and has fantastic team spirit;
Theo Seagar – very powerful gymnast;
Ruslan Panteleymanov – this guy has awesome style and puts the artistic into gymnastics; and
Then there are Sam Oldham and Max Whitlock – both of them are young and very talented gymnasts who push the Senior Team every day. Two names to look out for in the future.
