Beth, who is studying foundation to health studies, produced a stunning display to claim her second world title – adding to the gold she won on uneven bars in 2006 – and has announced that London 2012 is a real possibility.

The 24-year-old Liverpool John Moores University Sports Science graduate had previously said that the next Olympic and Paralympic Games may come too late in her career.

However, after Sunday's performance proved she can still hold her own with the world's finest gymnasts, Beth has now admitted she would be honoured to compete for Team GB at the same venue in three years time.

Beth told the Guardian: “I'd love to represent Team GB at the home Olympics – the crowd this weekend were absolutely fantastic and because it's the Olympics it will be 10 times better.

"I'd love to be in there in 2012, but to be honest the decision will probably be made in 2012. If I'm still enjoying it and I'm still up there competing well then hopefully I'll be there. Gymnastics is changing now, it used to be about 15 and 16-year-olds but the age barrier is moving up now. [Oksana] Chusovitina, who represented Germany at the Olympics last year, was 32 and won an Olympic silver, so it is possible.”
