ABOUT GYMNASTICS HISTORY
This site is dedicated to building a comprehensive history of gymnastics in Britain, including a timeline of significant events that have brought British Gymnastics from humble beginnings to their status as a World power.
By creating an archive of significant results including a comprehensive list of British Champions, Gymnasts own stories and Olympic reports, we aim to preserve these historical records for future generations.
