In the summer of 2021 I prepared for my final gymnastics competition and retirement. I had three main goals: The first was to embrace the experience both the good and the bad, the second was to win the British High Bar title and third was to successfully compete on all six apparatus. I came within two weeks of achieving all three of these goals before my body finally caught up with me. I think every retired athlete dreams of making a comeback. In fact I think it's part of the process, a bit like relapsing if you're on a path towards recovery. And this is may story.
