In 2015 James Hall qualified for the Great Britain men's gymnastics team as the travelling reserve that went on to win a historic silver medal at the World championships. Since that senior team selection he has become one of the most consistent athletes within the British team, winning eleven major championships medals in the process. At the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games James achieved a top 8 finish in the all around event which puts him in a very exclusive club of British men. He was an anchor for the British team that finished fourth at those Games and narrowly missed out on making a second Olympics this summer in Paris. Like a true professional, James showed incredible character in response to the disappointment of missing out on his Olympic aspirations and wholeheartedly supported the team as a reserve. Alongside his team mates Jake Jarmin and Samuel Gingham they have just launched a sports clothing brand called Satus. In 2017 James won the all round bronze medal at the European championships in Romania the home country of his longterm coach Ionut Trandaburu. And this is his story.
