Sam Oldham who competed in the 2006 UK School Games went on to become an Olympic medal winner at London 2012! Sam was part of the men's team that took an historic bronze medal as part of Britain's best ever Olympic gymnastics performance. In the women's team, gymnasts such as Team GB's youngest member Rebecca Tunney and her teammate Jennifer Pinches have also competed in the Sainsbury's School Games.

The stunning movements performed by the gymnasts on the balance beam are being carried out on the surface of a piece of apparatus only 10cm (4in) wide.

The Pommel horse is considered the most difficult of the six male artistic gymnastic events. It is the only one in which contestants do not pause or hold a pose during a routine.

At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Louis Smith won Great Britain's first Olympic gymnastics medal in 80 years. He won a bronze in pommel horse.
