Pals' high hopes of medals

Britain's gymnasts have not won an Olympics medal for 100 years but the two pals have high hopes of picking up medals in Beijing. 

They have both risen to the top of their sport under the guidance of Huntingdon coach Paul Hall.

Louis, from Cambridgeshire, began gymnastics as a four-year-old and quickly progressed at the sport and particularly on the pommel horse, which has become his most successful event.

Daniel, who hails from Corby, took the gymnastics world by storm with an incredible four gold medals at the 2008 European Championships, including the most prestigious title of Junior All-Round Champion.
