Every other sport understands the eligibility of Northern Irish athletes in accordance with the Commonwealth Games.
I would like to ask the FIG to reconsider the decision and allow us to compete at the Commonwealth Games.
Earlier today I was informed that the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) will not be allowing myself and my team mates to compete at the Commonwealth Games for Northern Ireland.
@MoominWhisky It makes no sense 🤷🏼♀️ I competed in multiple events representing Ireland in the lead up to CWG 2014, just like many others over the decades
This is absurd. Northern Irish gymnasts have had the freedom to compete for Ireland AND Northern Ireland for decades due to the complexity of identity here and the Good Friday Agreement. Why is this being challenged now @gymnastics? Two months before the games?? Fix it, FIG.
Defending Pommel Horse champion Rhys McClenaghan is one of three NI gymnasts who have been told they can't compete in Birmingham

Imagine training your entire life, finally getting senior international opportunities, and your career is over a day after it began at just 20 because you are just THAT much of a disgusting little prick.
Nothing makes me happier and more optimistic about gymnastics than seeing incredible gymnasts competing well into their 20s and beyond, and being enormously successful on the collegiate and international stage.
RIGHT. like damn is that not a red flag that we’re cold before we compete😭 they really tell you ya gotta warm up before doing a regular non-athletic workout… but we don’t get to warm up for an Olympic routine. wack
