British star gymnast Beth Tweddle helped Shropshire youngsters leap and somersault as they take inspiration ahead of the Olympics.

The Shropshire-trained Olympic bronze medal winner was at Coleham Primary School in Shrewsbury to coach the children, sign autographs and give a talk to give an insight into what it takes to be an elite athlete.

Beth, who trained at the Lilleshall National Sports Centre in Newport and won bronze at the London Olympics in 2012, said: “It has been fantastic to spend the day at Coleham and see everybody getting excited for the 2024 Paris Olympics, and inspire the next generation of children with a love of sport.

Charlotte Lewis, the school's PE lead, said: “We are really ambitious for our children. This is going to be an incredible week hearing personal stories of courage and perseverance and ensuring that sport is high profile. Sport provides us with so many opportunities for leadership, teamwork and personal growth as well as keeping fit and healthy.”
