News about Becky Downie

Even if she is injured and unable to compete, champion gymnast Becky Downie makes sure she can afford her bills. In the 2019 World Championships, the 31-year-old double European champion and her younger sister and fellow gymnast Ellie Downie earned silver for Great Britain. Donna Ferguson says she is suspicious about how she invests her money. Joshua, her brother, died of an undiagnosed heart disease while playing cricket on the night before her final Olympic trial in 2021. Becky was initially ruled out of the selection for the British Olympic team, but she has since suffered an injury and a reduction in her monthly income from UK Sport. However, she believes that if she works hard, she will achieve something, and that she will continue training and competing. Both she and Ellie, 23, are ambassadors for the British Heart Foundation.
