WHITLOCK TO BEGIN ROAD TO PARIS 2024 AFTER MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES

Triple Olympic gymnastics champion Max Whitlock will begin his quest for more
glory at Paris 2024 tomorrow after battling mental health struggles.
Britain's Whitlock has not competed since the Tokyo 2020 Olympics but is due to
feature as a guest at the Scottish National Artistic Gymnastics Championships in
Perth this weekend.
Thirty-year-old Whitlock won gold on both floor and pommel horse in the space of
just two hours at Rio 2016.
He defended his pommel horse title in Tokyo but then stepped away from the
sport.
"If I hadn't gone through that feeling of being lost and struggling, of being a
waste of space and come out of the other side, there is no way I'd have been
able to continue at this level - I'd have just crumbled and collapsed," Whitlock
told PA.
"I now see what I went through as a positive because it gave me a huge reset.
"I came home from Tokyo and said that I was done with gymnastics and, in an
instant, all that pressure and that fear of failure lifted, because it was
suddenly irrelevant.
"What's interesting is that when I decided I was coming back, that sort of stuff
didn't come back with it.
"My fear of failure has completely gone.

gold medal in all ©Getty Images
"I'm almost looking at it from a different angle, which I think is quite
powerful.
"I'm back simply because I feel like giving it another shot."
Whitlock's career also includes three Olympic bronze medals, three world titles
and four European golds.
He has won Commonwealth gold four times but missed his home Birmingham 2022
Games during his break from competition.
However, he did carry the Queen's Baton during the Opening Ceremony.
Whitlock was also absent from a home World Championships in Liverpool in October
and November.
"For the couple of years before Tokyo, gymnastics started to feel more like a
job than something I had passion and love for and my main emotion after winning
the gold medal was relief that I'd done it and it was over," Whitlock added.
"I could forget about it and move forward."

For nearly 15 years now, insidethegames.biz has been at the forefront of
reporting fearlessly on what happens in the Olympic Movement. As the first
website not to be placed behind a paywall, we have made news about the
International Olympic Committee, the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the
Commonwealth Games and other major events more accessible than ever to
everybody.
insidethegames.biz has established a global reputation for the excellence of its
reporting and breadth of its coverage. For many of our readers from more than
200 countries and territories around the world the website is a vital part of
their daily lives. The ping of our free daily email alert, sent every morning at
6.30am UK time 365 days a year, landing in their inbox, is as a familiar part of
their day as their first cup of coffee.
Even during the worst times of the COVID-19 pandemic, insidethegames.biz
maintained its high standard of reporting on all the news from around the globe
on a daily basis. We were the first publication in the world to signal the
threat that the Olympic Movement faced from the coronavirus and have provided
unparalleled coverage of the pandemic since.
As the world begins to emerge from the COVID crisis, insidethegames.biz would
like to invite you to help us on our journey by funding our independent
journalism. Your vital support would mean we can continue to report so
comprehensively on the Olympic Movement and the events that shape it. It would
mean we can keep our website open for everyone. Last year, nearly 25 million
people read insidethegames.biz, making us by far the biggest source of
independent news on what is happening in world sport.
Every contribution, however big or small, will help maintain and improve our
worldwide coverage in the year ahead. Our small and dedicated team were
extremely busy last year covering the re-arranged Olympic and Paralympic Games
in Tokyo, an unprecedented logistical challenge that stretched our tight
resources to the limit.
The remainder of 2022 is not going to be any less busy, or less challenging. We
had the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Beijing, where we sent a team of
four reporters, and coming up are the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, the
Summer World University and Asian Games in China, the World Games in Alabama and
multiple World Championships. Plus, of course, there is the FIFA World Cup in
Qatar.
Unlike many others, insidethegames.biz is available for everyone to read,
regardless of what they can afford to pay. We do this because we believe that
sport belongs to everybody, and everybody should be able to read information
regardless of their financial situation. While others try to benefit financially
from information, we are committed to sharing it with as many people as
possible. The greater the number of people that can keep up to date with global
events, and understand their impact, the more sport will be forced to be
transparent.
Support insidethegames.biz for as little as £10 - it only takes a minute. If you
can, please consider supporting us with a regular amount each month. Thank you.

FACT OF THE DAY
When British skaters Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean won the Olympic gold
medal in ice dance at Sarajevo 1984 with 12 perfect 6.0s from every judge, for
their interpretation of Maurice Ravel's Boléro, an important member of their
team was singer-actor Michael Crawford. Crawford, who had played Frank Spencer
in British sitcom Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em and the title role in the musical The
Phantom of the Opera, had become a mentor to the pair in 1981 and went on to
help them create their Olympic routine. Crawford said he “taught them how to
act". He was present with their trainer Betty Callaway at the ringside at
Sarajevo as they created one of the most iconic moments in Olympic history.

Unlike many others, insidethegames.biz is available for everyone to read,
regardless of what they can afford to pay. We do this because we believe that
sport belongs to everybody, and everybody should be able to read information
regardless of their financial situation. While others try to benefit financially
from information, we are committed to sharing it with as many people as
possible. The greater the number of people that can keep up to date with global
events, and understand their impact, the more sport will be forced to be
transparent.
Support insidethegames.biz for as little as £10 - it only takes a minute. If you
can, please consider supporting us with a regular amount each month. Thank you.
