Gymnasts Simone Biles and Max Whitlock climbed to the top of London's O2 ahead of their appearance at the Superstars of Gymnastics

Gymnasts are used to being fearless as they flip, twist and tumble from their apparatus, but two of the sport's biggest stars faced a fear of a different kind on Monday as they scaled London's O2.

Simone Biles and Max Whitlock, who will feature in Superstars of Gymnastics on Saturday live on Sky Sports Mix, braved the cold and windy conditions above the arena to watch the sunset over the capital.

Whitlock even had the confidence to show off some of his skills, including an impressive-looking walking handstand and a perfectly executed backflip.
