And finally,
Beth Tweddle ...
Beth,
I spotted you cheering on the England athletes at the stadium last
night. How was the camaraderie between the different sportsmen and
women.
Beth: Team England
is a great team. They are very supportive of each other within the
Village. Everyone is cheering you on whether you've won a medal
or not.
Beth,
this isn't a question but I think your a inspiration to younger
athletes and I love what you do!
大象传媒 Host:
How old are you Beth?!
Beth: 17
Beth,
has it been your ultimate dream to be a Gymnast and if so for how
long have you wanted to be one for.
Beth: No. My
parents first tried to get me into gym when I was six but I didn't
want to!
How
often and how hard to you have to train for major competitions such
as the Commonwealth Games. It must take its toll on your social
life.
Beth: I train
6 days a week, twice a day, about 5 or 6 hours a day. As for the
social life, you miss out on that bit but it pays off in the end.
How
do you fit school in around being a gymnast?
Beth: If I'm
not at school I get work sent to me and then I send it back and
when I am at school I just do it when I get home from training.
Do
you get really nervous and how do you stay relaxed?
Beth: Before
the events I tend to listen to music and yes I do get nervous but
a few nerves are good!
大象传媒 Host:
What music did you listen to this time - it sure worked!
Beth: RnB
Do
you get coaching on how to deal with all the press attention too?
Beth: I've had
one meeting about it but we don't tend to get that much and our
coaches are always there to help us.
What
was better, winning gold on the uneven bars, or winning silver individually
at the commonwealth games?
Beth: I'm not
sure actually! I think they're both the highlight of my career.
All
the girls always hug each other. Are you really all friends?
Beth: <laughs>
We've been training a long time together so we are all really good
friends.
What
did you think about while you were receiving your medals? I would
have been scared!
Beth: You're
thinking about where to walk and where to look and basically just
what to do so you don't look stupid! <laughing>
