GYMNAST !!!
Between January and July 2008, a film crew from Prospect Pictures (working in conjunction with BBC Films), directed by BAFTA winner Anthony Wonke, were given privileged access to Great Britain's women's artistic squad and its coaches. The final product was the film GYMNAST.
Throughout the film you see the drive, dedication and determination that it takes to become an olympian as the GBR squad fight for a spot on the Beijing olympic team. GYMNAST was aired on Saturday 13th of August on BBC2 and can now be viewed on BBC i-player.

This film captures every emotion, the tears, pain, frustration, dedication, pressure that an athlete experiences on their journey to becoming an olympian. I am so thankful that i have my journey and all those amazing memories captured in this film. So far i have watched this film 3 times over and every time it brings tears to my eyes. I will cherish it for the rest of my life and I hope you all enjoy watching it as much as i did."
