Amanda Reddin: British Gymnastics head national coach steps down with immediate effect

British Gymnastics’ head national coach Amanda Reddin has stepped down from the position with immediate effect.

In 2020, Reddin temporarily stepped aside while an investigation into claims about her conduct took place.

The claims were not upheld and her suspension was lifted, but another independent investigation is ongoing into “further historical complaints”.

British Gymnastics said it has been “mutually agreed” she will leave her role with the women’s artistic team.

“British Gymnastics recognises Amanda’s commitment to gymnastics and the time she has dedicated to the sport,” it said in a statement.

It added that “Amanda has, and continues to fully cooperate with all investigations”.

In August 2020, Olympic medallist Amy Tinkler said part of a formal complaint she made to the governing body related to her “experiences” with Reddin.

That followed two other gymnasts making allegations of mistreatment by Reddin, including accusations of physical mistreatment.

Rio 2016 Olympian Ruby Harrold said Reddin presided over a “culture of fear” at British Gymnastics camps in Lilleshall.
