The gymnasts (including my favourite gymnast Katie Axten) not only want to win the show but also promote the widely unknown gymnastics discipline (Simon Cowell: I’ve never seen anything like that in my life.) in order to make it an Olympic event.
“Britain’s Got Talent act Spelbound have revealed that they entered the talent show in a bid to make their sport an Olympic event. The 13 talented athletes in the group range in age from 12 to 24.
They travel the world taking part in acrobatic gymnastic competitions.
Spellbound said that they are “thrilled” to reach the next round of the talent show but also want recognition from sporting organisers.

Spelthorne Gymnastics is one of the best clubs for acrobatic gymnastics in the world. They were successful not only at the recent British Championships 2010 (BGtv has an excellent coverage) but also at European and World Championships.
Good Luck!! (Especially for the Olympic Mission!)
