Oliver Bay [national], DEN
Start sporting career
He took up gymnastics at an early age. At the end of 2014 he began tumbling in Silkeborg, Denmark.
Reason for taking up the sport
He used to enjoy climbing trees when he was younger, and some of his teachers encouraged his parents to enrol him with a gymnastics team. "After being involved in gymnastics for many years, I decided I wanted to try tumbling, which I thought looked exciting. With tumbling you can always get better, make it more difficult and more stylish. These elements I think are the coolest."
Milestones
He became the first Danish gymnast to win an individual medal in tumbling at the European championships when he claimed silver in the individual event at the 2018 edition in Baku, Azerbaijan. (SportsDeskOnline, 31 Oct 2019; dr.dk, 15 Apr 2018)
