They were an unlikely pair of gold medal hopefuls. In fact, they looked more like young media types out on the town in Hoxton, and yet here they were being filmed for a documentary about Britain’s Olympic hopefuls.

It had all come about during a holiday in Greece a few years previously. When Kevin leapt to catch a falling bread roll the waiter had joked “Hey, Olympic athlete”.

In the documentary’s re-enactment, a thought bubble came out of Kevin’s head. “Hmmm. Olympic athlete? Hey why not?”. On his return home, he and his best friend began tumbling in the back garden and before they knew it they were the best pair of male tumblers in the land.
