Beth named 2010 Olympic Athlete of the Year!

The British Olympic Association (BOA) announced on the 21st December 2010 the list of recipients of the 2010 Olympic Athlete of the Year trophy.

2010 World Asymmetric Bars Champion and European Floor and Bars Champion Beth Tweddle has been announced as the recipient of the Athlete of the Year Award for Gymnastics.

Beth Tweddle: “I’m really happy to win this award, in what has been a outstanding year for British Gymnastics. Becoming World Champion for the third time in my career in 2010 has given me great confidence towards my aim of reaching the podium at the London 2012 Olympic Games. We experienced the support of the home crowd during the European Championships in Birmingham and that has given us a great taste for the amazing support Team GB will receive in London in 2012. I will continue to work hard and hope for further success in 2011 and beyond.”

Congratulations Beth!
