British Gymnastics Championship 2024

Venue: Echo Arena Liverpool Dates: 14-17 March Coverage: Men's and women's senior apparatus finals live on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app from 11:15 GMT on Sunday, 17 March

Britain's top gymnasts, including Max Whitlock and Alice Kinsella, will be hoping to boost their chances of Olympic selection at this weekend's national championships in Liverpool.

You can watch the men's and women's apparatus finals live on Sunday on BBC iPlayer, Red Button and the BBC Sport website and app.

The gymnasts will aim to underline why they should be in the team for Paris 2024 this summer before they also have another opportunity to shine at the European Championships in April and May.

Great Britain have already secured their maximum quota spots - five each for men and women - for the Olympics but will only announce their squad in June.

Here is what you need to know about this weekend's championships.

Jake Jarman won vault gold at the 2023 World Championships

Great Britain's men and women will compete for the all-around titles on Saturday before Sunday's apparatus finals.

While the start lists have yet to be published, three-time Olympic champion Whitlock and 2020 Olympic bronze medallist Kinsella will be among those in action.

World champion Jake Jarman will be favourite for the vault title in Liverpool, while Joe Fraser, a former world champion on parallel bars and 2022 European all-around champion, is back after missing much of last year through injury.

Also returning from injury is Giarnni Regini-Moran but fellow 2022 floor world champion Jessica Gadirova will be absent as she continues her recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

In her absence, defending champion Kinsella and Ondine Achampong are likely to be the main contenders for the women's all-around title.

Three-time European champion Becky Downie will also be hoping to stake her claim for a spot at Paris 2024, having missed out on selection for the 2020 Games.

There will also be interest in 20-year-old Harry Hepworth, who won a superb World Cup floor gold in Germany last month by edging out Olympic champion Artem Dolgopyat.

How can I watch the British Championships?

Watch the apparatus finals from 11:15 GMT on Sunday live on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport app and website.

Men compete on six apparatus: vault, pommel horse, floor, high bar, rings and parallel bars, while women compete on four: uneven bars, vault, beam and floor.
