Amy Tinkler: Olympic medallist made formal complaint to British Gymnastics in December 2019
Olympic medallist Amy Tinkler says she made a formal complaint to British Gymnastics in December 2019 about her “experiences as a club and elite gymnast”.
The 20-year-old, who won floor bronze at Rio 2016, says she is “no closer to having any feedback or outcome”.
In a statement on social media on Tuesday, Tinkler, who retired in January, said she was “heartbroken”.
It comes amid widespread allegations of abuse within the sport in Britain.
British Gymnastics said Tinkler’s case is “at an advanced stage”, adding that she has been kept “fully informed” and provided with the “appropriate support”.
Tinkler was Great Britain’s youngest medallist at Rio 2016, when she won bronze aged 16, and also won one world medal, three European medals and 10 British titles during her career.
