Kieran Behan Biography

Kieran Behan is one of the most popular and richest Artistic Gymnast who was born on April 19, 1989 in London, London, Ireland. Kieran Behan (born 19 April 1989) is an English-born artistic gymnast, who represents Ireland internationally. He is the first ever Irish gymnast to qualify for the Olympics (the first Irish olympic gymnast, Barry McDonald, was awarded an invitational place in 1996).

In 2012, he competed in the London Prepares Olympic Test Event, where he qualified for the Floor Exercise final, finishing in fourth place behind Gold medalists Daniel Purvis and Tomás González and Bronze medalist Kristian Thomas, gaining the best execution score of the final. His performance in the London Prepares preliminary competition qualified him to the 2012 Summer Olympics. As a result, he was able to get a grant of €12,000 from the Irish Sports Council. His story, and the fact he is only the second Irish gymnast to qualify for the Olympics made him a star overnight, being in demand for media interviews, and appearing on RTÉ’s The Late Late Show.

He was expected to compete with a full Irish team at the 2012 European Championships. In 2012 Kieran also gained BT Ireland as a sponsor.

In 2010 Behan broke out onto the International scene, but suffered a setback when he ruptured his Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) six weeks before he was due to compete in the European Championships. He then ruptured the ACL in his other knee. He was able to compete in the qualifying rounds of the 2010 World Championships in Rotterdam but did not make it through to any of the finals.

2011 became a break out year for Behan as he competed at the European Championships in Berlin and the World Challenge Cup series where he won silver and bronze medals on the Floor Exercise. He went on to compete in the 2011 World Championships in Tokyo. Because he did not receive funding from the Irish Sports Council or Gymnastics Ireland, by the end of 2011 he had spent close to €12,000 on travel and accommodation expenses to get to the international competitions, friends and family supporting him by raising money through bake sales and other fundraisers.

In April 2016, Behan took part in the Aquece Rio Final Gymnastics Qualifier and qualified to compete in the 2016 Summer Olympics. At the 2016 Olympics, he did not reach the final for any of his events. He continued on in his floor routine, despite dislocating his knee at the start of it.
