Following the recent World Gymnastics Championships, Britain's Beth Tweddle has put to rest claims from critics who claim she will be "too old," to perform at the 2012 Olympics in London.
Granted, 25 is by no means "old age," but in the field of gymnastics it certainly isn't young either. In fact, Tweddle, who will be 27 by the 2012 Olympics comes around, is one of the oldest competitive gymnasts on the circuit.
But there's no denying that Ms. Tweddle is still landing the results. The 3 times World Gymnastics Champion, her most recent victory coming just last week in the uneven bars contest at the 2010 tournament in Rotterdam.
Beth Tweddle laid the claims to rest, commenting publicly that:
Three-time world gymnastics champion Beth Tweddle has brushed aside concerns that she may be too old to land gold at the London 2012 Olympics.
At 25, the Briton is already the second oldest competitor on the circuit and will be 27 by the time of the Games.
"In every interview people ask about my age saying 'are you going to be past it for 2012?' But I'm still enjoying it, I'm still getting the results and I'll be there and ready. Then I'll retire."
Well, there's no denying she is one of the best gymnasts that Britain has produced and we certainly hope to see her competing her way to success in London in 2012!
