"At first I got involved in sport because, like most athletes, I was a very hyperactive child. My parents found it very hard to keep me under control at times. The main thing that kept me in sport was watching the Olympics on television and from then I decided that I wanted to be an Olympic athlete. It just happened that it was gymnastics, but I guess I also chose the sport because I thought it would be cool to be able to backflip." (bbc.co.uk, 04 Dec 2015)

He was a member of the British men's team that finished with a silver medal at the 2015 World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland, which the first time Great Britain had won a medal in the men's team event at the world championships.

PROMISE TO FATHER
In 2009 his father passed away after battling cancer for two years. Bevan promised him that he would pursue a place at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, and eventually win an Olympic medal. "It really affected me as my head wasn't in the right place to focus in the gym. It took two more years before I was able to get back in gear and realise my dream again."
