Jennifer and Jessica Gadirova

Gymnastics is a perennial favourite for fans viewing the Olympic Games from home. Historically, the sport has been dominated by countries such as Russia, China, and the United States. But recently, Great Britain has been making waves. This year's line-up includes a double threat rising the ranks of British gymnasts — 16-year-old identical twins Jennifer and Jessica Gadirova, who both qualified for Team GB in 2021. Raised in Coventry to parents from Azerbaijan, both sisters started practising gymnastics at the tender age of 6 years old. Jessica recently secured a gold medal win for floor exercise at this year's European championships, while Jennifer took home silver at the 2019 junior world championships for vault.
