Jessica, 18 started gymnastics when she was around six years old and has already had a hugely successful career having taken home bronze at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, become a European All-Around Champion, a three-time European Floor Champion and a World Floor Champion.
At the 2020 Olympics, the gymnast who was 16 years old at the time competed alongside her twin sister, Jennifer Gadirova, who also took home bronze in the team event, and now Jess has her sights set on next year's games in Paris.
