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...

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...

All of my teammates at the gym have different worst and best bits of conditioning so I was wondering what yours are. The exercise I hate most is holding a leg lift while lying on your side: I just hate having the lactic acid build up after literally like a second and still having tohold it for...

I just thought I'd let those of you outside the UK know that Spelbound, an acrobatic gymnastics group who train at Heathrow, just won Britain's Got Talent. They are absolutely incredible and are creating a great name for gymnastics. If you haven't seen them I would check them out on Youtube...

On the 20th March I competed as part of Team GB in my first major international competition as a Senior Elite! It was the 3 way international that was held against Romania and Germany. It was in the Lilleshall National Sports Centre in Shropshire in the UK. It was really exciting because I got...

I just found this video on youtube and had to share it. I don't know if people have seen it before but I just saw it and think it's incredible. It's Eberhard Gienger doing an impromptu high bar routine at the 1991 World Pro gymnastics champs after years out of practice and in...a suit and tie...

Well I've finally got a youtube account and I've just put up my first video! It's me competing at the British Junior Champs in May this year! I had a fall on bars which lowered my score but I came 5th overall out of all the British Juniors so I'm really happy with that! It's nice to be able to...

Well my little sister Aaliyah is 4 and she had her first ever gym lesson/class on Saturday! I posted on Friday night but have been really busy since then so here's a little update! Aali came home buzzing. I was training when she had her class so I could occassionally peek over at her and she...

Im so excited! My sister Aaliyah is 4 years old and she has her first gym lesson tomorrow! Im going to be training during her lesson so Ill be able to see her! Because I do so much gym she tends to copy me and she's always been able to do the splits (lucky thing!) and is very flexible! I just...

Just wondering how many of you out there have a boyfriend. One of the girls in my team does and I just dont understand how she has the time lol! We're in the gym 30 hours a week and when we're not i always seem to be doing school work. All my friends at school have them but I dont mind because I...

I dont know whether you've all heard but Yuri Ryazanov, the russian gymnast who came 3rd in the Men's All Around at Worlds was killed in a car accident on his way home from Moscow airport yesterday. I just got home from gym and my parents told me (I was at a teammates house last night). I know I...

One of my teammates has a lot of trouble with her switch leaps. ITs a shame because she's amazing at everything else, she's really talented but this is one thing that brongs her down and its a compulsory element in our routines! She just cant seem to get the leg that switches up. ITs almost...

I was just wondering if there's anyone else who hasnt got there period yet when they feel like they really should have? Sorry for such a gross question but I'm kinda worried! I've heard some gymnasts don't tend to get there period cos they exercise so hard or something but I've never been really...
