Great Britain will be rep­re­sented by a full women’s gym­nas­tics team at the Lon­don 2012 Olympics after a nail-biting fin­ish in the artis­tic gym­nas­tics World Cham­pi­onship qual­i­fi­ca­tion ensured them the all-important top 8 spot and an Olympic team place. The team of Beth Twed­dle, Becky Downie, Han­nah Whe­lan, Danu­sia Fran­cis, Imo­gen Cairns and Jenni Pinches scored 220.553 points to fin­ish in 8^th posi­tion ensur­ing a clear pas­sage through to the Lon­don 2012 Olympics.
