Jake Jarman: GB gymnast sets sights on double World gold

The World Championships will also provide an opportunity for the Great Britain team to secure an automatic place at the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 2028 if they can finish in the top three overall.

And when he gets to the west coast of America in two years’ time, Jarman will be focused on improving on the floor bronze he won in Paris in 2024.

“In this sport, because the rules change at the end of every Olympic cycle, you have to really be on top of your game in terms of planning what routines you do,” the 24-year-old from Peterborough said.

“After Paris, me and my coach sat down and went through what routines I’d need to do to improve my results in the next Olympics and that included what competitions I want to go to in that four-year span.

“Olympic gold has always been the dream for me. Ever since Tokyo (in 2021) when I was a reserve, I realised I had that potential to be an Olympic champion. It’s weird, the preparation and the planning started back then.

“Even though I had the opportunity to be an Olympic champion in Paris, I obviously knew that if I didn’t make it, I’d still have another four years at least to be able to better my performances, better my routines and give myself a better shot at being an Olympic champion.”
