    2026/02/24
    Episode Description In part two of this interview, Winston continues his conversation with World Medallist Jaydon Paddock — diving into the emotional side of elite sport, his love for team competition, the unexpected moment at his black belt exam that ended in an ambulance, and his remarkable journey into the world of stunt work.

The Fight to Return Honest reflections on injury, impatience, gratitude, and the emotional toll of being forced to rest — even when your body feels fine. Best Moments “I’ve always had the reputation of being reliable. You put my hand up, you’re getting this — or you’re getting this.” "I do tumbling because I enjoy it. It hasn’t felt like a job, even though it’s given me every opportunity I could’ve asked for." “I didn’t feel unfit. That’s the thing — I’d never felt fitter. ” "We came together, we leave together — whether it's with a medal or not." "Never in my life am I going to look at a bottle of water the same again."

    2026/02/10
    Episode Description In this episode, Winston returns with Part 2 of the Gymnastics Discipline Breakdown — diving into the final five of the disciplines under the World Gymnastics (FIG) governance. If you’ve ever wondered how trampoline and tumbling fit together, what makes parkour a gymnastics discipline, or how acrobatic gymnastics actually work in competition, this episode breaks it all down in a clear and accessible way. From Olympic disciplines to community showcases, this is your go-to guide to understanding the full gymnastics landscape. Whether you’re a fan, a parent, or someone brand new to the sport, this episode will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the skill, creativity, and diversity across all eight gymnastics disciplines. Key Takeaways Trampoline Gymnastics An overview of all four events: Individual Trampoline, Synchronised Trampoline, Tumbling, and Double Mini Trampoline. Learn the difference between them, what competitions look like, and what a good score is at elite level. Acrobatic Gymnastics Explore the artistry and teamwork behind pairs and group routines and how the 3 routines are built from balance and dynamic elements. Rhythmic Gymnastics This section outlines the four apparatus at the elite level, group vs individual formats, and the blend of dance, difficulty, and execution that defines the sport. Aerobic Gymnastics A high-energy, explosive discipline based on complex choreography, powerful movement, and extreme endurance. We cover what the floor is like and how routines are judged. Parkour The most recent addition to World Gymnastics. We unpack the Speed and Freestyle formats, how events are structured, and what makes this controversial inclusion one of the most debated in the sport. Best Moments “Scoring for trampolining includes time of flight and horizontal displacement — things that don’t exist in artistic gymnastics.” “Scoring is mostly difficulty, execution, and landing penalties — but the way elements are valued is really interesting.” “Acro has five event types and three routine types — and yeah, if you want the full breakdown, Polly Maggs did a better job than me.” “Parkour being part of gymnastics? I had no idea until I started researching. I thought it was its own thing.” My Social Links ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/wpowell05/⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@winstonpowell5 The Game of Gymnastics: Understanding The Gamehttps://payhip.com/b/f6RjV Host Bio As a member of the Senior Great Britain Squad, Winston Powell brings firsthand experience to every episode.
