David Kenwright has left his role as the head coach of Great Britain’s women’s gymnastics team less than 100 days before the start of the Paris Olympics.
Kenwright’s departure, after seven years in the post, also comes on the eve of the start of the women’s European artistic gymnastics championships in Rimini, Italy.
Under Kenwright’s charge, the women’s team enjoyed their most successful period in history, including a first women’s Olympic team medal in 93 years in Tokyo in 2021.
Kenwright was not present in Tokyo, with gymnasts’ individual club coaches often prioritised for accreditation for major events.
He said in a statement issued via British Gymnastics: “I’ve really loved working with the WAG community, including all the amazing gymnasts, the talented and dedicated coaches, and a great technical committee.
