Her family then moved to Stockport, United Kingdom. It was here that Whelan began gymnastics. She said, "At the age of six, after constantly cartwheeling around the house and Tesco I persuaded my Mum to take me to a gymnastic class. There I was immediately spotted as a talent and began training at South Manchester Gymnastics Club with coach Helen Hall."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.british-gymnastics.org/site/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=2730&Itemid=27 )〕 A year later, at the age of seven, Whelan's family moved to Texas, United States where she trained at Flips Gymnastics Academy. In 2001, at the age of nine, her family moved back to Stockport and Whelan resumed training with Helen Hall this time at Vernon Park Gymnastics Club. In 2005, Whelan switched gyms to City of Liverpool Gymnastics Club with coach Sarah Attwell and alongside Beth Tweddle. Whelan said, "Beth always helped me in the gym. Just the little comments help to pick you up if things are going wrong. She has the experience and she has had bad days in the gym, but it's good to know that she's gotten where she has by living through the same things that you are." After 2008, Whelan began training under coach, Amanda Reddin. She said, "I totally trust Amanda. She knows exactly what she wants me to do and what needs to be in my training program in order for me to have a successful year." Whelan attended Bramhall High School but missed much of her final year due to training. Despite this, she passed eight GCSE exams including seven B's and one C. She is currently studying Sports Development at John Moores University in Liverpool. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hannah Whelan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
