Proud to be a role model for a 'greener' future

Louis, Olympic gymnast, 13 November 2008

Since we returned from Beijing, things don't seem to have stopped for me. The public support for Team GB has been immense and this was evident in the fantastic reception we received during the open-top bus tour through the streets of London. Media interest around the team has also gone through the roof and I even got the opportunity to present an awards at the MOBOs last month which was simply amazing!

Over the past few weeks I've been helping to launch the EDF Energy Programme for Greener Schools, an interactive programme designed to help pupils learn how to use energy and water more efficiently, which forms a key component of the London 2012 education programme, 'Get Set'.

My year in Gymnastics

Louis, Olympic gymnast, 3 December 2007

This year has been so busy but I’ve had an incredible time. It started at the Australian Youth Olympic Festival in January, where I managed to win Gold on Pommel Horse and prove that I’m still a good all rounder on the other 5 apparatus. We had some Grand Prix events in Moscow, Belgium, and Paris and I made some more finals before flying to Amsterdam to compete in my first ever Senior Europeans event. I was happy to make top 8 on Pommels with one of my best routines, although a few small errors put me in 4th overall - still good and very happy to see Dan Keatings from Huntingdon take Silver in the same event - We have an AWESOME team here.

In March I was proud to be part of the launch of the first London 2012 partner, Lloyds TSB, performing with other gymnasts…in the company of a beautiful black horse!
