GB men’s head national coach, Eddie Van Hoof: “The team reflects the great strides made by the Great Britain’s men’s gymnastics programme with a real blend of experience and youth in our team. The primary aim for Glasgow is Rio qualification but a home World Championships with the fantastic home crowd also gives extra motivation for individuals to really make their mark.”
GB women’s head national coach, Amanda Reddin “The British girls are fully prepared and ready to aim for Rio. The girls we have selected blend a mix of great experience with some younger faces who have already proven themselves in major championships. For Becky, Claudia, Ruby and Kelly it’s a return to the Hydro Arena where they’ve all experienced great successes last summer, these girls all competed at last year’s World Championships where the team placed 6th in China. For Amy and Ellie this is their first World Championships but both showed at the European Championships that they can excel at this level. We’re all excited to get to Glasgow and begin the competitions knowing that we will have amazing support from the home crowd who can help give us that extra edge as we fight for Olympic places.”
Best of luck to Team Great Britain
