Any thoughts on this story from the UK? Seems sensible to me but I've seen some online commentators saying that getting to the top isn't meant to be easy or fun... https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/11/29/sport/gymnastics-abuse-changes-intl-spt/index.html

Hi there - Have a general query on the BG compulsory grades / levels pathway. I understand there is no longer in age / out of age. Not sure if this is temporary or has it always been like this? It seems somewhat unfair for those who are “in age” so competing against so many older gymnasts who...

Hi, I’m looking for some information on the classic challenge cup vs the voluntary levels. My gymnasts are turning 11 and 9 and planning to compete bronze and either copper or zinc. The head coach mentioned that he may enter some girls in levels rather than the classic challenge. All the girls...

The British Championships start today! https://www.british-gymnastics.org/british-championships-2022 There are live feeds and videos on YouTube! Enjoy!

Catch up on everyone's thoughts after the recent national competitions and regional levels. What do we all think? Did BG pitch the levels right? What do we think will change next year? Did clubs in your area pitch their gymnasts correctly? What would you like to see change next year?

Anyone got any experience with the levels? I can get my head around the system! Niece just started so curious!

So my daughters birthday is 31/12/2011, so she should be competing level 4 compulsory elite(British Gymnastics) but its too much for her (due to when the clubs new elite squad started), but she is capable of elite level 5. I just cannot get over how unfair it is that other little girls only a 3...

I have an 8 year old, level 6 teammate moving to England this summer due to the military. She is planning on continuing her gymnastics after the move. What is the difference between the levels? I'm just curious.

Who is going? Who are you cheering for/wanting to watch? And can anyone point me towards a start list?

Rather than critique the American women's leos, I would like to discuss the men's singlets. What the HECK is up with the rooster on the British guys' warmup gear? Who thought this was a good idea? What does it mean...

Hi everyone My oldest daughter (11) competes in the British Championships in the morning, we are on our way to Bolton Arena, wondering what tomorrow is gong to bring, how big the venue will be etc. I think it will be the experience of a lifetime for her.

So BG are ramping up their publicity, which is making me excited to go and watch. Is anyone else going and who are you keen to see?

What do you guys think of the teams GBR has at this years worlds?

Has anyone seen a timetable and start list for the British Team Championships this weekend? I'm trying to work out which day to go and watch but it looks like it's a new format this year and I'm quite confused! Thanks!

So the countdown is on... Of those going who are you most looking forward to seeing? And if you were to put money on a champ, who would it be? My DD and I are really looking forward to it, big group from gym are going so it'll be a good day :)

Tickets arrived today, can't wait to tell the girls they are going! Who else is going?

My second thread in a few mins (told you I would make a pain in the butt of myself) I have asked this question in a unrelated thread but I would rather make a new one as I have got more to add.. As you may of read I was confused that my youngest dd was upgraded to Silver Club Competitive a few...

Just wondering if anyone is going to this? We were there earlier this year and ended up smack bang in the middle of MAG supporters....mainly from South Essex gym. I was so very green that when Kristian Thomas came over to speak to his parents ( who sat next to us) I had no idea who he...
