Esprit go to the Worlds!

We were there, were you?

A coachload of Esprit coaches, gymnasts and parents travelled to London on Friday 16 October for the Women's Artistic all-around finals. And what a day, despite the 4 hour coach trip to get to the O2 Dome (take my advice if you go there for the Olympics, take the train), the day was incredible.

The organisation at the O2 was brilliant and the food hideously expensive. But despite everything we had brilliant seats right near the front, Jon Hewlett provide everything Union Jack, flags, hats, banners etc. and as a result we were easily the loudest and best turned out group there, with everyone getting into the spirit of the event.

You can see our group if you look carefully when the girls are on beam, look for the Union Jacks!

It's a shame our GB girls couldn't quite make the grade this time around in the overall championship, but great credit must go to Danielle Keating Silver in the mens all-around and of course Superstar Beth Tweddle with yet another World Championship gold medal, this time on floor. Incredible performances from two great gymnasts.

Lots more pictures will be posted shortly, including one from jammy coach Hannah Wickens who managed to get her picture taken with Olympic Champion Nastia Liukin.

If you missed all the action from the O2 you can see all the highlights on 'You Tube' or for the next week on the BBCi Player.
