#BECKY DOWNIE BROTHER TRIAL#

Neither sister took part in last month's British Olympic trial in Cardiff after their 24-year-old brother Josh suffered a heart attack during a cricket nets session.Д«ritish gymnastics had agreed to delay the selection of the women's team until early June. 'I'm very confident the team were considered on their gymnastic merits and nothing else,' he told reporters.

I would say it comes as a shock but after how we've been treated this year it's not really рџ™ѓ - Ellie Downie June 7, 2021Д«ritish Gymnastics performance director James Thomas said the decision was based purely on merit. In the tributes that followed, his former cricket club in Burton Joyce said he had the highest individual score by a player in its history. 'With Becky having criticised the culture in British gymnastics just last year, it's hard not to assume that their motivation in effectively ending Becky Downie's career is a sinister warning to those who might speak out in future,' it added in a statement. Josh Downie, brother of Olympians Becky and Ellie, collapsed in the nets in Birkenhead, near Liverpool, on 6 May and was pronounced dead of a heart attack that evening. The Gymnasts for Change group of former gymnasts said the exclusion was a 'total shock.' 'I would say it comes as a shock but after how we've been treated this year it's not really,' Downie's younger sister Ellie, who has decided to take time out of the sport, said on Twitter.Д«oth sisters spoke out last year about the emotional scars from their careers and said abusive behaviour in gymnastics training had become 'ingrained' and 'completely normalised.' The BBC first reported that Downie was not on a reserve list either and an appeal by her legal team had been rejected. I'm not sure what will happen in terms of my future, but all I know is that I still love the sport, and I feel like I'm in the form of my life.' 'This past year has been incredibly difficult, but this last month has been unimaginable.

I don't have the words to describe how it feels now not being able to even try,' Downie tweeted. The four selected are 2019 European beam champion Alice Kinsella, twin sisters Jennifer and Jessica Gadirova and 2021 European uneven bars bronze medallist Amelie Morgan.'Winning an Olympic gold medal has always been my dream.
