Team GB Profile: Daniel Keatings

It seems only yesterday that it was confirmed that London will host the 2012 Olympics. And now here we are, not much more than a year until it all kicks off. British Gymnasts will be particularly excited about competing in front of a home crowd and hopes are high for medals. Over the coming months, we will be profiling British Gymnasts we expect to see in London in 2012, starting today with Daniel Keatings. Daniel Keatings, of Corby, specialises in men's artistic gymnastics. The 21 year old is a big hope for team GB. He started his career at the tender age of 5, was selected for the British team at just 10 and has, since then, represented Scotland at the 2006 Commonwealth Games, represented Great Britainat the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in 2007 and the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. His trophy cabinet is already well populated, with the gymnast having won a silver medal in the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships. He became the first Brit to win a medal in an all round event. Add that to a host of medals he won as a youngster and a 2010 European Championships Gold on the pommel horse, amongst others, and it's safe to say he's performed well. Daniel is tipped for success in London in 2012 and we will be watching this one closely!
