The Gymnast Magazine MAY 2011 BRITISH GYMNASTICS OFFICIAL MAGAZINE MATTHEW GREENWOOD 2012 OLYMPIC GYMNASTICS COMPETITION MANAGER INTERVIEW BETH TWEDDLE UNEVEN BARS EUROPEAN CHAMPION Warm-Up MAY 2011 he ‘Golden Era’ of British Gymnastics continued in Berlin and Glasgow with more outstanding results as Beth Tweddle retained her European uneven bars title followed six days later by Daniel TPurvis winning the all-around gold medal in Glasgow, beating the new European Champion Philipp Boy in the process. Daniel is fast becoming a world star having finished fifth in last year’s worlds and winning bronze in Berlin. Sam Oldham also gave notice in Berlin of his outstanding potential, just missing an individual medal on the high bar. This month will see the FIG Council meeting in San Jose award the 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. It will come as no surprise that a strong bid has been presented by the city of Glasgow and our thoughts and best wishes will travel with our bid team in the hope of a positive outcome for the sport and the city of Glasgow. For the second year running, the UEG Trampoline Training Camp for coaches will take place at Gillingham. Facilities such as those in Gillingham have been crucial to the development of gymnastics in recent years. But where will future funding come from with rising costs in a complex financial climate? The Government in recent months published what is known as the Localism Bill. It is aimed at increasing resources at the grass roots level by giving power to professionals and communities to create better services and outcomes. This new legislation has incredible benefit to our sport as we continue to signal the need for new facilities to house our sport. At the same time, new planning guidance is emerging to replace PPG 17 ‘Sport & Recreation’. I am ensuring that representation and input is being made to the appropriate agencies and will endeavour to ensure our interests and those of the sport are met. In the coming weeks I will be attending many BG Championships and hope that you continue to enjoy our wonderful sport of gymnastics.

  • Max Whitlock Has Been Crowned European Pommel Horse Champion
    Max Whitlock has been crowned European pommel horse champion with Sam Oldham taking high bar silver, Kristian Thomas high bar bronze and Daniel Purvis taking floor bronze to cap a superb championship for the British men’s team in Sofia. Olympic pommel bronze medallist Max’s routines have been a class above his competitors all week and this was the same in the final as he took gold with a huge 16.166 points, beating the Olympic champion by some distance. His pommel gold continues a British legacy in this event with Dan Keatings taking the previous two European titles. Sam and Kristian showed all their experience on high bar in a tense competition the British boys showed great composure, skill and determination to take the silver and bronze. Dan’s floor was similarly impressive as he produced a confident stylish fault-free routine to claim the European bronze for the second time having also took the same medal in 2010. Elsewhere Max also placed 5th on floor. The results conclude the men’s European Championships with the seniors also taking team silver and the junior boys team gold, all-around gold and bronze and four gold and four silver medals in event finals. Max summed up his pommel performance saying: “I’m really, really happy. I’ve worked so hard on my routines and am always trying to up my game to stay ahead of the competition. To produce under that level of pressure and expectancy and win ahead of a legend like Kristian Berki feels fantastic. My routine is high on difficulty but I’m never satisfied, from here I’m going to be looking to push on even further, it feels fantastic to have won this medal and I’m determined to go on and win more in the future.” Sam Oldham said after: “I’m almost speechless.
