One of Beth Tweddle’s specialities is the uneven bars. As one of Britain’s elite gymnasts, there were great expectations for her at the world championships. Unfortunately, on the uneven bars, Beth Tweddle fell. She had a chance for redemption on the floor exercises and took full advantage of the opportunity to make a statement. She won:
“Britain’s Beth Tweddle raised the domed roof at the O2 Arena on Sunday after she tumbled to glory on the floor exercise, while Olympic champion Zou Kai and his team mates showed China had lost none of the sparkle that helped them dominate the 2008 Beijing Games.
However, it was Tweddle who handed promoters of the 2012 London Olympics with their dream marketing tool when she outshone her rivals to win her first world floor title with a rousing routine which earned her 14.650.”
