British WAG and MAG talk 2025

The draw for the Welsh Championships has been updated.

Alice and both Jen and Jess Gadirova are competing as guests.

First competition of the new quad, exciting!

The WAGs are Saturday 15th February and the MAGs on Sunday. We don't typically get a stream for the Welsh, as I recall? Hopefully there'll be videos.

I can’t remember if there was one last year? Gym data had one for something, but it may have been English champs.

GB has uploaded a policy for making the national squads. I can’t see anything on there about the senior development squad, so maybe that no longer exists.

Interesting to note that only 4 senior gymnasts at last years British championships made the 50.5 AA score which is now one of the criteria for the performance pathway squad.

Thanks for that.

It will be interesting to see who makes the new senior squad and whether it will be a larger squad to account for getting rid of the senior development level. The funding models seems a little confusing- it doesn’t state what the requirements are to receive a funded UK sport place versus receiving a programme only ‘supported’ place.

It says 16 max, which is definitely going to be interesting
