onjune the government guidelines published on june one about the government guidelines published onjune one about which athletes can return to training. there is room for interpretation. british gymnastics, which runs that sport in this country, said this interpretation is that as things stand, only gymnast representing great britain can be allowed into gyms. matt break max whitlock tweeted on his first day back in training ten days ago. it's believed most top gymnasts are back in their gyms. danusia francis is frustrated at how the government has ordered its guidance on how british gymnastics has interpreted it, as is her coach vincent. danusia francis was the only foreign gymnast who has qualified for the olympics. i thought it would be reasonable for them to go back and say this is a special case. danusia francis and her training partnerjessica castles, who represents sweden, both for raised in britain. jessica has also been affected by the rules. in

also been affected by the rules. in a spotlight gymnastics, even one or two weeks of holiday will set you back a long time, trying to get back into training. i do really hope they change it but if they come back and say they cannot, i will feel the scrimmage against because i do not see any reasoning why they wouldn't change it. i am hopeful. the government has told us it is a matter for each sporting body as to how they can implement their guidance. they said a return to training will be possible for all gymnast very soon. for now, the car park routines must continue. that's all from sportsday. don't forget bournemouth versus crystal palace over on bbc one right now in the premier league, it is still goalless. for me and the rest of the theme, goodbye for now.
