Welcome to the official website of Beth Tweddle - Great Britain's most successful gymnast ... ever. Beth's name first started getting heard internationally in 2001 when she competed in her first World Championships, and was noted for her excellent work on the asymmetric bars. A year later Beth achieved Britain's first ever medal at a European Championships, bronze on bars. A year later she repeated her bronze medal but this time at the World Championships - another first for GB. 2004 saw Beth achieve a life-time goal of competing at the Olympics. Unlucky enough to compete in the first subdivision, Beth fell short of qualifying for the bars final and left Athens more determined than ever. Despite injuries hampering her preparation, Beth competed at the 2005 World Championships and placed 4th AA, smashing GB's record of 13th place, and was again in receipt of a bronze medal for bars.

In early 2006 an ankle injury meant Beth had to watch the Commonwealth Games from the stands - a title she was clear favourite for. But, as is Beth's style, injuries and set-backs only make her fight harder. Later on that year she performed a brand new routine on the bars at the European Championships, and this time she was unbeatable - Beth was crowned European Championships. Her next big challenge would come in October, at the World Championships. During bars final Beth performed her daring and dynamic routine with aggression and determination, and topped it off with a stuck-cold landing. Her reward - the title of 2006 World Champion!

Beth has expressed a desire to continue in gymnastics until the 2008 Olympic Games, where she hopes to lead the British team out in Beijing.
