Great Britain's rhythmic gymnastics team have been given the green light to compete in this summer's London Olympic Games after winning their appeal.

The gymnasts originally missed out on a spot in the Olympics after falling shy of a qualification benchmark in January.

The group disputed this ruling, stating that they are competitive enough to compete in the Games and took their case to an independent arbitrator.

The verdict has ruled against the British Gymnastics governing body, which means that Great Britain will be permitted to form a team for this summer's tournament.
