British Gymnastic Championships returns to Liverpool
Photographs by Jo Forrest.


THE 2016 artistic gymnastics British Championships will be taking place at the Liverpool Arena over 8 April to 10 April 2016. This event promises to be a spectacle of jaw dropping gymnastics with our Olympic, World and European stars fighting for the prestigious titles.

With the much anticipated Rio Olympic Games taking place this summer, this will let you see a preview of the action to come... we are told that:- "Competition will be fiercer than ever to take gold and steal the spotlight. Gymnasts will pull out their biggest moves to impress and outdo each other. So this will be the show to go to, if you love gymnastics!"

So what’s at stake? Both the senior men and women are battling not only to be crowned the best in Britain, but fight to prove why they deserve to represent Great Britain at the European Championships in Switzerland and also show selectors that they should be part of the team that heads to Rio later this year.

In a major boost for the sport, we have also been told that the BBC will be broadcasting live coverage from the Championships, on BBC2, from 3pm, on Sunday 10 April 2016. This will involve some of the best action of the event, with the apparatus finals of the women’s and men’s senior competitions.

The event program for the full event can be found on the British Gymnastic Championships website...

We will also be bringing you some fantastic pictures after the event, in our next issue, thanks to Jo Forrest...

This is a small glimpse of what will be on offer....
