Gymnastics events have been staged at the Olympic Games since 1896.[1] British female gymnasts have participated in every Summer Olympics since 1928, except for 1932.[2][3] British women have won four medals at the Olympics: the 1928 team all-around bronze; the 2012 uneven bars bronze, which was won by Beth Tweddle; the 2016 floor exercise bronze, won by Amy Tinkler; and the 2021 team all-around bronze.[2][4][5][6][7] Tweddle, Pat Hirst, and Becky Downie are the only British female gymnasts who have competed in at least three Olympics.[8][9]
