So this year is my school's anniversary (125 years old) and one of the things we are doing is using our talents to raise money for a school building project in Kenya. Each person has to come up with an individual way of using their talents to raise money so I thought of...cartwheels. However I...

I had this injury a few years ago (same knee and everything) and it was nine months from when I injured it that I was back to my full training hours again. I still have PT every week on it but I have no restrictions in which moves I can do. I sometimes still get a bit of instability in that knee...

At my old club we had a weigh in once a week and it was the sort of stressful "oh my gosh have i gained a quarter of a pound??!!" sort of thing. It would end up that all the girls were careful not to eat too much on the night before weigh ins, we wouldnt eat breakfast or drink until after the...

She's absolutely incredible! Such a heartwarming story and so inspiring!

I tore my ACL and had it reconstructed just over 4 years ago now. After the rehab after the op I had to get a CTI custom brace (big carbon fibre thing) that I wore in training for about a year. I didn't tend to wear it on bars unless I was specifically training dismounts but I always wore it on...

Good Luck to your girls as always :) Hope they do well at their voluntary :)

I use to and because we do it without really realising it, it's hard to stop. My coach ended up stopping my music every single time I did it in training and making me start over. In the end you get so sick of it you won't do it. Of course you then concentrate on your tongue more than the routine...

Thank you so much everybody! It means so much that even one person enjoys watching my routines let alone so many of you! I am so excited for the Commonwealths! They are such a huge deal and it feels amazing to have been selected! I have never been to India before and can't wait to visit a new...

Thank you everybody! I didn't realise those video had already been put up! And Bog, I agree it is an incredible oppurtunity and I still can't quite believe I've actually been representing my country at these competitions. We did an autograph signing and I have never had a more surreal...

Thank you very much! No I don't. But if you search me there's a couple of videos you can find. My ones of last year's british champs are up and a competition I did in Rouen last year and I think the British Teams :) Also my routines from this year were on the British Gymnastics website (not sure...

Well I haven't been on in ages and so I thought I'd update everyone! My biggest bit of news is that I have been selected as part of the Team GB group that are going to Delhi to compete in the Commonwealth Games! :D I am so excited and thrilled to have been selected and absolutely can't wait...

Aw that sucks for you but at least it's your first in 10 years! That is pretty good going! I really hope it heals quickly and you can get back to doing what you love! And Good Luck in Junior year! Enjoy it :)

That sounds amazing! I'm so glad she had fun and feels like she acheived something!

Just seen the picture...Is it Emilys "custom leo" that Lauren spills the smoothie down? Because it looks similar from what i remember! I hope you got it all sorted out :)

At 16 I finally got mine in April :rolleyes: and even though I'm much older and it's much easier to deal with it was still scary. I love the ice cream and nails idea, a great way to take her mind off it! I agree with the book idea for getting used to tampons, it's certainly easier to study it...
