Having helped make history on Olympic debut three years ago, Alice Kinsella’s target above all others heading into her second Games is simply to have some fun.
So bad did it get that at one stage Kinsella, the Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist and mainstay of the GB team for several years, considered calling it a day for good.
After winning bronze at May’s European Championships, she heads to her second Olympics claiming to be in some of the best form of her career. Yet through it all, Kinsella has prevailed. There is surely no greater demonstration of her toughness than the fact she helped Britain secure their first Olympic team medal in 93 years while competing with torn ankle ligaments.“I feel like I've definitely matured, not only in myself but with my gymnastics,” she says. “I feel like competing has become a little bit easier this time around.
That has opened the door for Beckie Downie, who made her Olympic debut in Beijing 16 years ago, to return for a third Games. Kinsella’s Birmingham 2022 team-mate Georgia Mae Fenton is also in the squad along with two of the youngest members of Team GB in 17-year-old Ruby Evans and 16-year-old Abigail Martin.
