Hi Daniel, when did you first start gymnastics and why?
I started when I was 5 years old. My dad was a kickboxer but I was too young to start then, so I was taken to the gym to get flexible and it just went from there!

What sort of training do you do to achieve the standard you have now reached?
I train for 30 hours a week, over 6 days.

What are your ambitions both in and out of gymnastics?
In gymnastics, would be to compete at the Olympics. Out of gymnastics, to have a successful job after.

Who is your gymnastics idol and why?
It has to be Hiroyuki Tomita, because I love his style of gymnastics.

What's your favourite apparatus/routine and why?
I'd say High Bar because it's fun...but scary!

Do you have any superstitions or rituals when you compete?
I have to wear a white wristband on my right hand and a black one on my left!
