FaVorite FiVe: Gaius Thompson


'I train as part of British Gymnastics Top Squad and aiming to be part of TeamGB at Tokyo in 2020.'


Gaius (Jay) Thompson
has been part of the national squad since he was 9 years old and has competed for England and Great Britain, winning over 40 gold medals nationally and internationally. Jay stood out with his brilliant displays as a junior, representing Great Britain at both the 2012 and 2014 Junior European Championships, winning both individual and team medals.


Jay had been struggling with injuries since turning senior, but began 2018 winning Masters floor silver at the British Championships.  Although I follow gymnastics during the Olympics, it was again an image of Jay that first introduced him to me.  With his model good looks, he look incredible on or off the parallel bars.
