Acrobatics is a sport involved with partnerships.
People have a women's pair like us, a men's pair.
a trio, which is three girls,
a men's four, which is four boys
and a mixed pair, which is a boy base and a girl top.
We have three routines.
There's two for the qualifications which consists of,
one's balance, so that's all of the static elements.
You have the dynamic side, which is being thrown and caught
and somersaulting.
If you qualify for that you get to do the combined routine,
which is a mixture of both.
I sort of always base it on... it's quite circusy,
working with others in a team,
and I always say there's a little one that we chuck around and balance.
I think it's the mix of gymnastic skill
and it being nice to look at.
It's a lot of dance, as well as the actual gymnastic elements
that people might know from the Olympics,
through exercise and things like that,
so it's kind of a mix of both.
You should have a big connection between you and your partner
and there should be almost like a story within your routines.
When I was young, well because I started when I was just about six
I was looking up at the senior men's four and stuff
and that was just like, wow, for me
and that's probably what inspired me to keep going and to work hard.
Yeah, it's just the same when you go there you see all these big lads -
when I started we had a senior pair there
and we had a senior four, senior girls and there were these big guys there,
and you thought, 'god mighty'
and you just want to get to where they were.
We eventually got there got there.
It took us ten years but we eventually got there.
My first International was in Greece in 2005
and that was when I was in a four.
I was 12-years-old and I was a base in that.
It's always the first one that sticks with you
and after that we got put together.
Then went to our first International,
which was 2007 European's in Holland.
We came third at the World Championships in 2012.
Then we have just done two World Cups at senior.
We came second in the first round,
and third in the second one and second overall.
We started off competing in late 2012
so the British Tournament, that was our first competition together,
which we won, which was great.
So we always hit the ground running
and then we had the World Cup in Bulgaria,
which we managed to come second.
It was a great achievement for us.
We were warming up for a competition the day before the competition
and we were going through a routine and one of the moves when a bit wrong
and nearly led to Alice's death.
I managed to save it right at the last second
and we had an American audience
and they went really wild for the catch.
We actually got a bigger round of applause than if we'd done it right.
So yeah, that was quite embarrassing in a way.
I went on for, was it the final?
No it was it was ten both.
It was ten both routine and he didn't have the right pants on,
so basically I had brought black boxers
and we had a yellow leotard that was see through.
So I can't wear black boxers so I had to go commando.
Yeah and it was quite bad
because we've got a move called the radochla
and that's where he puts his legs like there
and I was just like, "God no, why now?!"
We're not embarrassing at all.
I think we're quite mature sophisticated people.
