Speaking to NavyFit, Cdr Weller said he felt "very privileged" to be selected to compete at one of the most prestigious adult gymnastics events in the world.

He said: "I was very excited when I received the confirmation that I would be representing Team GB in Boston.

"Unfortunately, last year I missed the team as I was still recovering from a ruptured bicep. I feel very privileged to have been selected to represent my country in the event this year."
