The most successful British gymnast in history travels to Beijing looking to ice her decorated career with an Olympic medal.
Beth Tweddle has been world, European and Commonwealth champion on the asymmetric bars and is aiming to complete the full set in China.
At the age of 23 it is almost certain to be her last chance and, having under-performed in Athens four years ago, will be keen to set the record straight.
The Liverpool-based gymnast has endured an injury-plagued build-up - an ankle injury prevented her defending the all-around title at the British championship.
And, after recovering from that injury, a rib problem has since hampered her at the final training camp in Macau, prompting a slimmed-down medal assault in Beijing.
She has opted to give the balance beam and vault a miss and will only compete on the asymmetric bars and floor, as well as the team event.
Tweddle took up the sport at the age of seven and within two years had progressed to become a member of the British junior national team.
She first made an impact at senior international level at the 2001 world championship.
A year later Tweddle took bronze on the asymmetric bars to became the first Briton to win a medal of any description at the European championship.
Later in the same year she followed up by winning two golds (all-around and assymetric bars) and a silver (team) at the Commonwealth Games in Manchester.
That was the start of a run of success that culminated in 2006 with her finest moment to date - world championship gold on her favoured assymetric bars.
The latter half of her career has been boosted by the introduction of lottery funding that - in part - flowed into the sport as a result of her own achievements.
Tweddle is already planning for life after gymnastics having earned a degree in Sports Science from Liverpool's John Moores University.
