Championships. GYMNAST 12 GYMNAST 13 Generation By Olivia Howard inspired and Tim Peake This time last year the country was building up to a frenzy as the London 2012 Olympic Games gripped the nation. The performance of TeamGB was sensational and very much inspirational; indeed the phrase “inspire a generation” encapsulated one of the key aspects of the Olympic legacy. This summer once again sees some of the best younger gymnast taking steps on their Olympic journey as the European Youth Olympic Festival takes place in Utrecht (NED). We caught up with two of Great Britain’s brightest gymnastics stars – Brinn Bevan and Tyesha Mattis – to see how much London inspired them and what they are working on in their Brinn Bevan quest for Rio. GYMNAST 15 Tyesha Mattis It’s now been a year since the Tyesha on vault Brinn on rings Olympics, in the gymnastics, what was your favourite moment and why? Brinn - My favourite moment was watching the Great Britain men’s team in the final because they did really well and their performance deserved a medal. Tyesha - Ali Raisman’s floor was my favourite moment - winning Gold for Team USA. Who was your favourite gymnast from the 2012 Team GB Olympics team and why? Brinn - Max Whitlock as he is one of my training partners at South Essex Gymnastics Club. He inspires me because it’s cool watching him train certain elements as he manages them with such ease. Tyesha – For me it was Rebecca Tunney, she showed everyone that being young needn’t be a barrier to success. What was your highlight from 2012? What achievements have you made since then? Brinn - My highlight of 2012 to meet the best athletes of Tyesha - You should ask my put away ready for EYOF so was being part of the junior GB Europe with my team mates Jay coach but I feel I have a strong I put it out in the selection team competing at the European Thompson and Nile Wilson.

The World Games provide a unique setting for thousands of athletes from different sports and countries to join in a celebration of unity and friendship. Many people call the Games "The Olympics for the non-Olympic sports/disciplines”. The Games are held quadrennially in the years following the Olympic Games but this is the first time that they will take place in South America. Athletes from 38 sports will compete over 11 days in Colombia’s third largest city, Cali, which hosts the multi-sport Games together with two other municipalities in the Cauca Valley, in western Colombia. The Opening Ceremony will be held on 25 July, which is the day Cali celebrates its 477th birthday. The organisers are preparing to seize the moment to promote the full breadth of sports to the world, and to bring about significant change to the nation, region and cities. The Organising Committee is committed to paying particular attention to environmental friendliness in all its actions. Cali brings considerable experience as an organiser of major sporting events to the challenge of staging The World Games.
