So with the Olympics almost here....have you ever almost made it there?

Question

I was a county gymnast as a teenager and would have been in the Olympics aged 16...unfortunately I was so shy that I got the stage fright at the trials. I was in the top 3 in Britain for a whole year.

I was an amazing gymnast though....who knows maybe one day I'll get back to that standard!

Answer 1

I'm actually a champion Sumo Wrestler

Due to family commitments I've decided to decline the offer to attend the Olympics

It still hurts to talk about it.....

Answer 2

I actually beat the guy who won a bronze medal in table tennis once a long long time ago not one that done so in the last ten years by the way, admittedly he was drunk and was standing on one leg holding a pint of guinness in one hand. But I beat him fair and square. No one else could but I did I am proud of that could only have been easier if we blindfolded him.

Answer 3
