When: Tuesday 13 October 2024 to Sunday 18 October 2024

Where: The 02 Arena, London

Details: The championships, which will be held in London for the first time and will act as a vital precursor for the Olympic Games in 2012. They will give a strong indication of which world class gymnasts will be defending their positions at the Olympics in 2012, and who will be the rising stars that will challenge them. Britain’s best hopes are Beth Tweddle (who won the 2006 World and European titles on A. Bars, and narrowly missed to medal at the Olympic Games in Beijing finishing in 4th place) and Becky Downie (finished the Women’s All-around Final in Beijing in a record 12th place).
