As it is Tokyo games opening day, let's begin this bonus 19th collection of gymnasts with the leader of the British squad, Max Whitlock, training at the UK national training centre at Lilleshall:  ...and their "travelling reserve" in the Tokyo squad, Jake Jarman, shown here in the Tokyo training gym. He's a master twister, by the way and, if he doesn't make Paris 2024 as a full squad member, I shall be astonished... Two previous member sof the UK national squad, Jay Thomson and Brinn Bevan: And then Rhys McClenahan, representing the Republic of Ireland... May the best men win, as they say... so long as it is UK. The opposition from the Japanese, on their home territory, will be formidable. OK. End of prejudiced bit. A general training selection now!
