Team GB’s medal-winning Gadirova twins celebrate GCSE results

Twins Jessica and Jennifer Gadirova collected their GCSE results on Thursday, just days after winning bronze at the Tokyo Olympics.

The 16-year-olds plan on remaining at Aylesbury Vale Academy where they will both do the Sport and Management course at sixth form.

Jessica Gadirova said: “We are very happy and pleased, we both got the pass and are very thrilled.”

“It was very difficult and it would not have been possible without the support from our teachers and coaches.

“If there were days that we had to miss school because of training, they would give us the resources and help to catch up.”

They were part of a team, including Alice Kinsella and Amelie Morgan, to claim Great Britain’s first women’s team gymnastics medal since 1928.
