Olympic gold medal gymnast Rhys McClenaghan “saw a challenge and accepted it” when he decided to swap the pommel horse for the Paso Doble by participating in Irish broadcaster RTÉ’s Dancing with the Stars.
This Sunday, all of his hard work will come to end when McClenaghan and his partner Laura Nolan dance in the final of the competition.
Ahead of it, the 25-year-old from County Down has returned to his home gym where he was greeted by dozens of young, aspiring gymnasts.
