Thank you for taking us on your journey with these videos, it is such a treat to have a window into the life of an elite athlete.

GET IT! World or no world title, Olympic or no Olympic title doesn't matter. I have a Gold and Silver in Double Mini Tramp from Hannover 2003. What I can tell you sir from what I've learned, is that it's what you do after. Titles are amazing, but how you can share your experience, and help others that will fill the void once you retire. Having a PLAN when all is said and done is the hardest part. I transitioned to performing with Cirque and other companies, but there was still a void that is left. I hope you have a plan too! I wish you the best of luck in your Olympic journey! Sending lots of support from Canada * Vancouver * :)

Rhys, I was there in the arena in Antwerp for finals, and your pommel horse was the most beautiful gymnastics I have ever seen. Your journey has been inspirational and helpful to my own mental health struggles. Enjoy your journey going into the next Olympics, you are an incredible human being!

Congratulations Rhys you absolutely deserved it.

HUGE congratulations! Thank you for sharing so much about your experience and challenges, mental and physical. Big applause from Chicago (US).

Congratulations Rhys. As a national Black Belt competitor, I know that winning is 90% mental focus. It doesn't matter what you did before, all that matters is that one moment and you knocked it out of the park. 😎

These journals are so cool, thanks for sharing!

Congratulations on the win Rhys! Very well deserved. And thank you for sharing how you were feeling in the lead up. Best of luck in the build up to Paris!

Congratulations Rhys!! 🎊 I'm so glad to see you succeed and sorry you haven't felt well. It's exciting to look forward to the Olympics. Keep your spirits up. Glad to see you posting again!❤🎉

You are a champ with or without that medal, but my oh my....what a routine. You make it seem so easy,! So effortless , absolutely brilliant. congratulations and all the love!

Congratulations Rhys. You’re an inspiration to so many! Can’t wait to see you in action in Paris 🇫🇷

You have done yourself proud Rhys. Many congratulations and best of luck for the future events.

You are such a nice young man, you deserve all of this! You’ve kept a good perspective on what’s important and not getting too caught up in the things that will distract you and that aren’t important. Congratulations and I can’t wait to see you in the Olympics! 🎉

Congratulations!

I was fixated on the "Wilson" toy and his own doll on the bookshelf.

Me and mam were screaming at the tv ( mainly me) I was so happy when your score came omg

So. Freakin. Proud. I am so astounded by your ability to deal with the pressure, especially after Paris. Keep making us all proud 2x World Champ!

Congrats Rhys, did us here in NI proud as always

Congratulations on your world champion 2023 !!

So happy. So happy for you. What a great result as your journey unfolds.

Congrats! And I love your jig during the interviews.

Congrats!!! 🥰🤩🥳

Amazing, congrats! Doing us proud

It's great you got off social media leading into your second world championship title. Doing that kept you focused on something you've been working on your entire life. I suggest doing the same for the Paris Olympics. Watching you grow as an athlete and pursue your dream is significant. Good luck this summer!

Congratulations. Thank you for sharing a bit of what you have been going through.

I'm so chuffed for you Rhys. Congratulations & thank you for these videos so we can enjoy your gymnastics journey. Good luck at the Paris Olympics, I'm rooting for you all the way. Lots of love from New Zealand 👍👋

Awesome Rhys 🥇also liked the bit about the daily mental battles i really relate to this just now - not been on here for a while so just catching up over next few days, another classy vlog 👍👍👍👍

Well done Rhys. What a beautiful performance. Can't wait to follow you in Paris. good luck and stay healthy. Love from 🇨🇭

Great stuff Rhys, keep it up. I'm also glad the bright green pants are back hahah

You looked so calm the day of and during your finals! Congratulations

I admire your work ethic and really appreciate your talent man. I know you will keep on doing better and better gymnastics-wise.. but please dont ever leave this side of you when you talk vulnerability, you do that well and really inspire us when doing so. Well done for your title, it was well deserved.

Such high flares! Such strength and control!! Wow!

Congrats Rhys 🎉❤

First of all what an amazing video, very nice from build up to winning. It really catched me into it. Congrats for that title. I can't wait to see the build up videos to the onlympics and the olympics itself.

No.. THANK YOU for keeping sharing your life with us. And what a journey it has been. I've been following you for some years now. I felt a good amount of joy knowing you own and watching this video. Your videos gives me a sense of calm and relaxation.. Your voice tone... the music choice.. Would you be willing to share some more personal content? I would be very interested in knowing what you enjoy at life other than sports.. how you fill your free time.. the games you play... siblings? the dog... everything.. if not gymnastics, what else would you have followed?

CONGRATS you were amazing :)

Congratulations🎉

Well done lad, very proud of you.

Congrats Rhys, magnificent! 🇺🇸

I know this must be a very random comment but the other night I was watching my tv before going to sleep and a video of your vids came up so I clicked on it and I was reflecting on my gymnastics journey because I went to rathgail and stuff and I would be there till 9,10 at night so when you won your Olympic title my granda has been like “****** you used to do some gymnastics training with him” cause I’d do circuits in like 2017,2018 with you lot around then. anyway thought I just say this but it’s so random 😂😂

Praying for success in Paris, but also, that you are mentally well no matter what happens. No matter how great a routine may be, there is always something to fix, there will always be something for criticism, because no routine can ever be perfect.

Where are you, Rhys? Hope you are doing well. Congrats on your latest award!

Enhorabuena!

Absolutely stunning routine! Well done! Comhghairdeas!

Keep staying healthy!

Medal or no, you are a champion.

🙌🙌

Dead set champion young man, what’s the British TV’s issue with telling everyone about you and RTE are not much better. March on to Paris🥂🍾

Congrats?👏👏👏

bravo bravo bravo

❤

🙏💜🙏

Hi from sam and Bobby see you in November

Great win Rhys to retain your title. In 2024 Max will be at a much higher level

I agree with this. I think max is still the favourite next year. It won't suprise me if it's max 1st and Rhys second. I think they are the two best pommel horse specialists right now.

We shall see how you do in Paris ;)

Please forgive me if I'm wrong or off-base but you seem to be having a disconnect between you as an athlete and you as a person. From the comments, it sounds like we all like you maybe more than you like you? Consider maybe "we" have the right of this? Bottom line: few of us can be the best person we'd like to be. Best athlete? I leave it to your imagination.
