Gymnast Max Whitlock insists he owes it to his two-year-old daughter Willow to stick around for another Olympic cycle as he prepares to make his international return in Basel later this month. Willow was just seven months old when Whitlock clinched his third pommel horse world title in Stuttgart in 2019, shortly before coronavirus hit and forced the sport to scrap its entire 2020 schedule. When Whitlock kicks off his quest for a fifth career European gold in the Swiss city he will do so in the knowledge that for the first time Willow will be following the action on television back home in Essex.
