Becky Downie – COMEBACK

The Becky Downie Documentary [Ep. 1]

Becky competed at the 2008 and 2016 Summer Olympics.  She is a double European champion (2014 and 2016) and 2014 Commonwealth Games champion on the uneven bars as well as the 2019 World silver medallist.

Now age-31, Becky is training towards qualifying for Paris.

The first episode includes her role in calling out British Gymnastics for past abuse. Very brave. Many of the other women to do so had already retired.
