World and Olympic medallists heading to Paris 2024 to represent Team GB in gymnastics and trampoline
Britain's most successful ever gymnast, Whitlock, is heading to France knowing that at competition's end he'll be taking his final Olympic bow.
Three times an Olympian with six medals including three gold to his name, the 31-year-old could be on course to make Olympic history if he wins a medal in Paris.
Should the father-of-one claim a medal on his favoured piece, the pommel horse, he'll be the first gymnast ever – man or woman – to have won four Olympic medals on the same apparatus.
But mostly, Whitlock has a more personal aim: "This is the first Olympic Games where my daughter (five-year-old Willow) can watch me compete. I am excited for her to experience the Games, especially now she’s taken up gymnastics herself, it’s going to be really special."
Whitlock is joined by Tokyo 2020 Olympian and 2019 parallel bars world champion Fraser, plus debutants Jarman, the reigning world vault gold medallist, two-time European floor champion Whitehouse, and Hepworth.
Kinsella, another history-making British Olympian, is the only returning gymnast from the quartet who won a first-ever women's Olympic team medal, with bronze in Japan.
The 2019 beam European champion is joined by two-time Olympian and 2019 World bars silver medallist Downie, and Olympic debutants Fenton, Evans and Martin.
Fenton, Kinsella and Downie were also part of the first-ever British women's team to win the European title, in 2023, and Fenton and Kinsella helped secure a best-ever World Championship placing, with silver, behind the United States, in 2022.
Page, who won a first-ever British Olympic medal in trampoline with bronze at Rio 2016, before going on to win silver in Tokyo and is also the reigning world champion stated: “It really hasn’t sunk in yet that this will be my third Olympic Games. I have all the feelings – happiness, pride, excitement – I just want to stay in the moment as I know how fast everything goes."
