Amy Tinkler Height, Weight, Age, Body Statistics

Amy Tinkler is a former British artistic gymnast who had won a ‘Gold’ medal at the 2015 English Championships (all-around, balance beam), the 2015 British Championships (all-around, floor exercise), the 2016 English Championships (vault), the 2016 British Championships (floor exercise), the 2018 English Championships (all-around, vault, uneven bars), and the 2018 British Championships (floor exercise). Besides that, she had also clinched ‘Bronze’ medals at the 2015 World Championships (team event), the 2016 Rio Olympics (floor exercise), and the 2017 London World Cup (all-around). She retired from the sport in January 2020 after a spate of injuries had hampered her 2018 and 2019 seasons. Another reason that had hastened her abrupt retirement was the inaction by British Gymnastics, the governing body for the sport in the country, on a formal complaint that she had filed with them in December 2019. Her letter had alleged issues of systemic weight-shaming and mental harassment; along with a ‘culture of fear,’ that was prevalent in the organization.
