Beth Tweddle:


.. Olympic Ambition! B


eth is a double Olympian, 3-time World Champion, 6-time European Champion,


Commonwealth Champion and has won seven consecutive National championships between 2001-2007. In 2009 Beth claimed her second World Championship title in front of a home crowd at the O2 arena in London, a phenomenal career highlight and a feat she wants to repeat in 2012. Prior to the 2012 Olympic Games Beth still has an opportunity to add to her World and European titles but the one medal she craves is the Olympic one and she hopes to finish her career in style in front of an expectant home crowd.


Beth graduated from Liverpool John Moores University in June 2007 with a 2:1 in Sports Science and was accepted onto the Physiotherapy course at the University of Liverpool which she has deferred until 2012 to allow her to concentrate on training. Beth’s attitude and approach to both her studies and sport make her a prodigious role model to young individuals.


Away from her gymnastics and education Beth has also become a woman in enterprise with her own company, Total Gymnastics. The company works with schools, leisure centres and gymnastics clubs to help develop her cherished sport. Beth is a confident and dynamic character and enjoys working with children to encourage and support their future sporting careers.
