London's success boost the confidence of the country's best
gymnasts!
2005 British Women’s Championships
Guildford Spectrum Leisure Complex, Parkway, Guildford
8/10 July 2004
The historic victory of the GB Team over China in Liverpool,
on 25/26 June 2005 and London’s successful bid to host
the 2012 Olympic Games, boosted the confidence of the country’s
best gymnasts at the beginning of the road leading to the
2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
All seven gymnasts who competed in Liverpool (Beth Tweddle
(Liverpool), Samantha Bayley (Unattached), Imogen Cairns (The
Academy), Rhian Pugh (Bristol Hawks), Melanie Roberts (Liverpool),
Rosalie Hutton (Pipers Vale) and Helen Galashan, Reserve (Liverpool),
will take part in the 2005 British Championships in Guildford,
8th/10th July.
The competition in “The Spectrum”, Guildford
will crown the best Senior, Junior and Espoir gymnasts from
all over the country and will put on display the emerging
new generation of young talents.
The expected highlight of the Championships will be Beth
Tweddle’s attempt to win her fifth British Senior All-around
title.
The 20-year-old from Liverpool will come fresh from her stunning
success in the meet against China -Gold medals in the Overall,
Team, Vault, A. Bars and Floor (in a tie with Fan Ye). All
this happened only 20 days after Beth’s ordeal in Debrecen
(HUN), where she was 1st on Floor and A.Bars and 2nd in the
Overall in the Qualifications of the European Championships,
but fell from the A. Bars during the warm-up of Competition
2 and spent a day in hospital returning in a neck collar.
Local girl in this event is Amanda Russel-Lowe from Woking
(Senior).
