Through BBC Sport’s coverage of the event across the weekend of 22-23 March, fans will be able to watch the women’s and men’s All-Around competitions and the apparatus finals, with Olympic, World and European medallists going head-to-head.

The BBC’s coverage will be hosted by Sydney Davies and Sam Oldham, with commentary from Katie Foster and Kristian Thomas.

Ahead of the BBC coverage starting on the Saturday afternoon, fans wanting to follow any of the action from the first two days of competition will be able to watch live via the British Gymnastics website.

Speaking about the new agreement, Dom Elsom, events director at British Gymnastics, said: “There is a real excitement among gymnastics fans ahead of this year’s Artistic Gymnastics British Championships following on from Paris and looking ahead to LA, and we’re thrilled that fans across the country will now be able to be part of that through the BBC’s coverage of the event.

“Gymnastics is one of the few sports that has more female fans than male fans, and so it is hugely positive that the BBC have committed to coverage of this standout event in the sporting calendar for at least the next two years.”
