I'm English, but my daughter has trained 25 hours a week since she was 11 and is now nearly 16. She leaves school 15 minutes early and gets the train to gym which is an hour away. We pick her up. The school has always been really supportive and appreciate that the gym is very important to her...
hello, I'm a parent of a national level british gymnast, aged 13 wh's just made it into the England squad. I'm also a national level judge.
I've been into gymnastics since i was 5 and remember all the olympics since 1980! My favourite was 1988.:)
