Good news for Dan Keatings and Louis Smith

In Dan's latest blog for Opus Energy, he chats about why his club – which he trains at with Louis Smith – is celebrating this week. Here's a snippet:

After launching an ambitious £650,000 expansion plan three years ago, my gymnastics club in Huntingdon received some fantastic news last week: it was announced that the Olympic Legacy Fund was donating almost £50,000 towards our goal of building a new gym. With pledges for more than half of the money already secured, the donation from the Olympic Legacy Fund is a massive endorsement to what our club has achieved over the last two Olympic cycles, and in our commitment to providing Gymnastics For All.

Find out all about it in this Opus Energy Challenge blog.

Previously unpublished: the interview, part 1

Following Dan’s interview with the Northamptonshire Telegraph, published in the New Year, we thought we’d take a look at some of the other answers from Dan on the day. The first instalment is below:

Northamptonshire Telegraph: 2012 was a mixed year for you, how did you keep yourself motivated?

Daniel Keatings: Obviously it was very disappointing to not be picked for the Olympics as competing in your own country is everything you dream of. That said, there were a lot of positives as my team showed its strength and there’s a huge sporting legacy for gymnastics to carry on succeeding.
