All Around glory at the World Championships as Daniel Keatings takes the Silver Medal

16.10.2009

Gymnast, Daniel Keatings, made history at the World Championships, winning Britain’s first ever silver medal in the men’s All Around final, on Thursday 15th October at London’s O2 Arena.

Despite his nerves Daniel was confident and strong throughout his routines. Unfazed by a falter on the Pommel horse in qualifying, Daniel kept his cool and his performances went without a hitch.

“I am speechless and just trying to come to terms with it all. The atmosphere was crazy”, says Keatings after his historic performance. He added, “It was a dream and now it has become reality, this is just a glimpse of what I can expect at the Olympics”.

Earlier this year, Keatings secured a sponsorship deal with Opus Energy. The financial support helps to cover the cost of coaching and training essentials, enabling him to dedicate his time solely to achieving success in gymnastics.  

Andy Nash, Operations Director at Opus Energy said “Daniel’s success at the World Championships is fantastic news. It’s a credit to his continued hard work and commitment. We’re so proud to be supporting Daniel throughout this exciting time.  As a World Championship silver medallist he could be a star of London 2012.” 

Due to the men’s apparatus finals taking place this weekend Daniel has little time to take it all in. The finals will take place live on BBC one on 17^th October and BBC two on 18^th October.

All at Opus Energy wish him the very best of luck.
