Beth still Flying High!

Olympic Gymnast Beth Tweddle is still Flying High following her medal success, by Wing-Walking over the Gloucestershire Countryside. Britain's most successful gymnast, Beth Tweddle who won the bronze medal on Bars only a few weeks ago, has decided now is the Time to take some risks! "It was amazing. One minute I was sat on the floor then the next minute I was in mid-air. It was awesome," she said, after being strapped to a vintage biplane, taking to the air, then landing at Rendcomb Airfield. "It was brilliant - I loved every minute of it. We went up for seven or eight minutes and then it started raining so we came down and then went back up again for about 15 minutes. "I wasn't nervous but my mum and dad who came down to watch me were nervous - especially when I was doing the loop the loop and rolls. The pressure up there is quite intense - I had quite a sore neck afterwards." She said there were lots of different things she had not been able to do in the past due to the risk of injury that she now wanted to experience. "Right now, I want to make the most of every opportunity while I can. I did a bit of abseiling the other day and did some ice skating and I've got a snowboarding lesson next week so I'm trying lots of different things," She said she was yet to think about her long-term plans but had decided she wanted to remain involved in gymnastics. "I just want every child to have the opportunity to have a go at gymnastics," she said. "I'm hopefully going to do a sky dive early next year. I just want to have a go at everything." Well, best of Luck Beth, you deserve to let your hair down a bit.
