British WAG (and MAG!) talk

[Puffin]

Is there any news on Jenn Gadirova? I remember she posted some stuff (late April?) of her tumbling (soft landings) progressing from a back tuck to a double lo/full in. But nothing recently

This from June of her training leaps and salto skills on high beam with a mat is the most recent I'm aware of.



I think the most we can say at the moment is they've both got a long way to go, but plenty of time to get there.

It's a long time since the sport's given athletes the opportunity to have a classic post-Olympic, low stakes year. A whole generation of pretty experienced gymnasts have just never done it. We have a lot to see about who prioritises what.

What actually was Jennifer’s injury? Do we know?

She said the arthroscopy back in January was to 'wash out' her ankle. I'm not sure if that's the same issue that kept her out in 2023.

Ellie Downie will be on the new series of Celebrity SAS starting next Sunday 22 September.

Jen competed today, although I’m yet to see any results

Aylesbury's socials say it was a Bucks county competition, so obviously very low level. Still, something to celebrate after 18 months out!

Probably wanted something low attending crowd wise purely bc it’s been so long, I wonder if she’ll compete at British teams now
