Shownotes

More gymnastics today with chats to the other two athletes selected for the men's gymnastics team for Tokyo.

Joe Fraser is the 2019 world champion on the parallel bars.

He was a typical 5 year old who was always tumbling around the house and when he was taken to gymnastics class as a kid he loved it. When he first saw the Olympics on TV he decided he wanted to be there.

Joe talks about his experiences at the Youth Olympics and going out to the Rio Games in 2016 to learn about the Olympic experience.

James Hall is also ready to make his Olympic debut. He's been on the squad for 7 years and waited patiently for his chance. During lockdown he set up a pommel horse in his dining room!
