About Beth Tweddle
Beth began gymnastics at the age of seven and went on to achieve Olympic glory, helping to redefine British gymnastics on the world stage. Her outstanding achievements place her firmly in the ‘greatest of all time’ category within her sport.
Her career highlights include:
- Olympic Bronze Medallist
- Triple World Champion
- Six-time European Champion

Beth’s international success began at the 2002 Commonwealth Games, where she won Gold and two Silver medals. Over the following decade, she secured more than 20 additional Gold medals at major championships around the world. She fulfilled her lifelong ambition by winning an Olympic medal at the London 2012 Games, before retiring from competitive gymnastics.
Her contribution to sport was recognised through a nomination for BBC Sports Personality of the Year and her appointment as Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2010 New Year Honours for dedication and excellence in gymnastics. A three-time Olympian, Beth has continued to achieve success beyond elite competition.
Alongside her sporting career, Beth pursued higher education, graduating from Liverpool John Moores University with a 2:1 in Sports Science and later being accepted to study Physiotherapy at the University of Liverpool.
Following her retirement, Beth remained closely connected to gymnastics, becoming Director and Ambassador of Total Gymnastics, a company she co-founded with fellow Olympian Steve Parry. The organisation works to expand access to gymnastics in schools, leisure centres, and clubs, supporting the long-term development of the sport across the UK.
Beth’s high profile has also led to a successful media career. In 2013, she won the eighth series of Dancing on Ice, returned for the final series in 2014, and reached the final of the All-Stars edition, finishing third.
As a speaker, Beth brings first-hand insight into high performance, resilience, goal-setting, and mental strength.
