- A note from Deanna:
My goal is to share Becky's incredible story as far and wide as possible. A lot of high-quality gymnastics content is geo-blocked/paywalled nowadays, which is why I've chosen to release this documentary on CZcams.
The first two episodes of "Comeback" were self-funded. It was important to me to compensate all of my friends who helped bring "Comeback" to life, which I have done, but all of my time filming and editing this passion project was done in my free time outside of my paid work.
If you enjoy my content and feel compelled to support my work (and hopefully allow me to continue filming with Becky as she works towards Paris), please consider supporting me via the DONATE option here:

Any and all support helps tremendously and is very much appreciated! And if you don't have the means to support financially, no worries at all :) Thank you everyone!

I LOVE that 'older' gymnasts have taken over the sport. Gone - thankfully - are the days of young, malnourished, pre pubescent children. Now we have string, muscular women, whose gymnastics is more powerful, with higher level skills, and far more exciting to watch as a sport.
Fantastic documentary, really hoping you get selected for Paris 2024
You NEVER doubt Becky Downie indeed..
The passing of their brother Josh was devatating to watch. I love these girls..
I NEED an episode 3, 4, 5 etc.
Sameeee
Shines a light on just how traumatic BG's 'Olympic Trail' was on Becky. For her to walk away and say it's prepared her to compete anytime anywhere, speaks volumes. Rooting for you Becky! You've got this!
Why was she not selected btw?
Fantastic. Thanks Deanna for highlighting Beckie. It's easy to make documentaries about US gymnasts, but this is a docu for REAL gymnastic fans. Xx
This really put me to tears. What an inspiration she continues to be for everyone around the world. I wish her and her family all the best and look forward to seeing her shine in future competitions. Even though I knew her story already, I couldn't pull myself away from the screen. Thank you for your incredible and important work, Deanna!
The shot of Josh that then turned into a picture on a table as they were talking about him passing, that made me tear up. Deanna with the excellent shot ideas geez!
I had the shivers for most of this. Becky, you're amazing.
Amazing beyond belief, held her head up high even when dealing with adversity from within her own sport. I rooting for her to make the team in 2024
It was wonderful to see their family dynamic. I remember being heartbroken for her after her brothers loss
Great story! I wish Becky all the best for the next Olympics! And it was interesting to see Pauline Tratz in the credits as an associate producer!
Yes, I was thinking the same, great to see Pauline there❤
Unreal 👏🏼👏🏼 all the fingers crossed for Becky & 2024
This is a super documentary, Becky is so inspiring as a person and as an athlete, there are not so many gymnasts who impress me like she does, way to go, I hope to see her in Paris 2024 !
I desperately need the next installment of this comeback series please please please please please please😅😮
She will always be my favourite gymnast. British Gymnastics better get the Olympic selection right and put her on that team!
I love these series! Thank you, and looking forward to see the mother parts! ❤❤❤
I never doubt Becky Downie!! Let's keep this going!

This was epic
had no idea they had to go through so much inside the gym community...
Why was she not selected for/in 2021?
unrelated but.... God bless the Lord loves you more than you can ever imagine so much so that he gave his only son to die on the cross to bear our sins so that we'd be completely pardoned from sin and its eternal consequences if we believe he died for our sins and repent from our sinful and worldly ways(turn from and turn to God) - life is short and our only chance to get right with God, take it ❤ YOU CAN DO IT
THE WORLD LOVES YOU DOWNIE SISTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHAME ON BRITISH GYMNASTICS FOR THE MISTREATMENT AND CRUELTY ON THE DOWNIE SISTERS!!!!!!!!!
