 British superstars Beth Tweddle, Louis Smith, Daniel Purvis and Daniel Keatings grabbed gold medals Sunday as the British championships concluded in Liverpool.British superstars Beth Tweddle, Louis Smith, Daniel Purvis and Daniel Keatings grabbed gold medals Sunday as the British championships concluded in Liverpool.
The four gymnasts — all of whom have won world medals for Great Britain — appear ready to lead British gymnastics to record success this summer at the Olympic Games in London.
Liverpool's own Tweddle hit her 6.9-Difficulty uneven bars set for the second day in a row, improving .1 from Saturday's score to 15.850. Tweddle, who underwent minor knee surgery in April, skipped the floor exercise final to rest, where she had been the top qualifer from Saturday's qualification.
Niamh Rippin (Notts) took titles on women's vault and floor exercise, while all-around runner-up Jennifer Pinches (Liverpool) won balance beam.
Southport's Purvis, who captured the senior all-around title Saturday, added the still rings gold, silvers on parallel bars and high bar, and bronzes on floor exercise and pommel horse. All-around bronze medalist Keatings (Huntington) won parallel bars as part of his comeback from repeated injuries.
Smith hit pommel horse for a phenomenal 16.375, with a record 7.1 Difficulty score. Smith, who also scored well on parallel bars in Liverpool, appears too strong to leave off the five-man squad this summer.
Kristian Thomas (Earls) was a double winner, taking titles on floor exercise and vault (Yurchenko double pike). All-around runner-up Sam Oldham, who trains alongside Keatings and Smith at Huntingdon, won the high bar gold.
The men's finals was a special "Masters" format which combined the senior, junior and youth age groups. Britain's talented juniors held their own against the seniors, with medals for Junior European champions Courtney Tulloch (silver on still rings) and Frank Baines (bronze on parallel bars).
The competition in Liverpool also served as the final trials for the British Olympic teams. Teams will be announced July 4.
