I am a big fan of Becky Downie, so I have been looking forward to these, and I hope more are made.

The first episode seems to mostly be introductory fluff- a bit of background, a bit of scene setting. The second episode went deeper and was genuinely emotional. She is amazingly focussed and resilient, both physically and mentally. She is genuinely still up there as one of the worlds’ top bar workers, and I would love to see her get one more chance to prove that on the world stage. Her recent training videos have shown progress on vault and floor too, so it looks like she is working towards being a reliable all rounder again rather than simply a specialist. From the outside looking in, Team GB seems to be quite a young, close knit team, so I hope there is still room for Becky on it. I really hope 2024 is her year.

It will start well at least, with both Becky and Ellie being awarded MBEs on the New Years honours list (It’s a big honour).
 
I just watched the second episode today. Looks like only two episodes were made. Very touching story.

She is looking for financial support to make more. Here is from the comments of the video...

A note from Deanna:
My goal is to share Becky's incredible story as far and wide as possible. A lot of high-quality gymnastics content is geo-blocked/paywalled nowadays, which is why I've chosen to release this documentary on YouTube.

The first two episodes of "Comeback" were self-funded. It was important to me to compensate all of my friends who helped bring "Comeback" to life, which I have done, but all of my time filming and editing this passion project was done in my free time outside of my paid work.

If you enjoy my content and feel compelled to support my work (and hopefully allow me to continue filming with Becky as she works towards Paris), please consider supporting me via the DONATE option here: https://deannahongproductions.vhx.tv/

Any and all support helps tremendously and is very much appreciated! And if you don't have the means to support financially, no worries at all :) Thank you everyone!
