Gunthorpe gymnast just misses out on the Tokyo Olympics
Gunthorpe-based gymnast Jake Jarman has missed out on selection for the Great Britain team heading for the Tokyo Olympics later this year.
The 19 year-old received the heartbreaking news today (May 24). Jarman had performed well in the recent European Championships, but it wasn’t enough to force him into a four-man team for Tokyo.
Double Olympic champion, Max Whitlock MBE, will lead the British challenge in the Japanese capital, and will be joined by current world parallel bars champion Joe Fraser, current British all-around champion James Hall and 2021 European medallist Giarnni Regini-Moran.
The successful team members all came through a rigorous judging and selection process.
Jarman is a member of Huntingdon Gym Club and has made giant strides of improvement in recent months.
