As the Paris Olympics 2024 nears, several athletes are making their way to the podiums for a powerful kickstart. The 2020 Summer Olympics team bronze medalist Alice Kinsella anchored the British team to the much-awaited podium. She repeated her feat at the 2022 World Championships, where the team leveled up to the silver podium. After securing the title of the 2023 British national all-around champion, she ushered in 2024 with high hopes. But is her way to success a little thorned?
Every year, the 23-year-old partakes in the British Championships to begin her year on a positive note. But in 2024, an injury may have obstructed her path and partially disrupted her gymnastic flight. Even though she was on a recovery journey resulting in a British Championships rule out, her gym lighted up again.

This looks to me like a fracture/dislocation of the elbow which is likely to be a season-ending injury except possibly a beam routine with one-handed Acro elements.” For someone whose elbow has been dislocated, getting back to full-fledged training can’t appear in the farthest of dreams. But her latest Instagram story is proof that grit and determination steers her wheel. At the Park Wrekin Gymnastics Club, Kinsella smoothly transitions from the high bar to the lower bar with seamless swings.
