We are proud to present our newest member of Park Wrekin Gymnastics Club, Kristian Thomas, who will join our coaching staff on 1st February 2018 as our Head of Recreational Gymnastics.
Wolverhampton-born, Kristian was a long-standing member of both the England and Great Britain men’s teams. He was a member of the British team that won the gold medal in the 2012 European Championships. In addition to this, Kristian and Team GB won an historic bronze medal in the same event at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
Kristian won his first global individual medal in the 2013 World Championships, a bronze in vault, which was also the first global medal ever won in vault by a British male gymnast. In 2015, he won his first major international title, gold in the floor exercise at the 2015 European Artistic Gymnastics Championships.
Since retiring in 2017, Kristian has become only the second person to be inducted into the British Gymnastics Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame is the ultimate award within the British Gymnastics awards list, celebrating the outstanding achievements of British gymnasts on the highest international stage!
