Although British gymnasts competed at numerous Olympic Games as early as 1908, they did not compete at a World Championships until 1966. [1] Neil Thomas won Great Britain's first world medal, a silver on floor exercise, at the 1993 World Championships. [2]

The emergence of Beth Tweddle in the early 2000's, followed by Louis Smith and Daniel Keatings in male gymnastics, began a period of increasing success for British gymnasts at global level as the nation moved from an also-ran, through a middle power, and into one of the major forces in the sport. At the 2015 World Championships both men and women won their first team medals, a silver and bronze respectively. [3] As of 2025, Six British gymnasts have won eleven World titles, all since 2000; Beth Tweddle (twice on uneven bars, once on floor), Max Whitlock (three times on pommel horse), Jake Jarman (once on vault, once on floor), Joe Fraser (on parallel bars) Jessica Gadirova and Giarnni Regini-Moran (both on floor). British gymnasts have also won at least one medal on every apparatus, including both team and both individual all-arounds, except for balance beam.
