Britain's Louis Smith admits that he may not be part of the gymnastics squad for the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil.

Team GB gymnast Louis Smith is not sure whether he will compete at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janerio.

The 23-year-old was part of the five-man British team that claimed a bronze medal during the artistic event yesterday evening.

Following that performance, many pundits have tipped the squad to compete for gold in Brazil next time around.

However, Smith has admitted that family commitments may take priority before the next Games come around.

"We're very ecstatic about what we've done. We've overcome a lot of people thinking we couldn't do it," Smith told ITV's Daybreak. "We went out there, we had fun and we became Olympic bronze medallists.

"I don't know if I'll be there in four years' time, but I'm sure some of these young ones will be. In four years' time, I'll be 27 and I want kids by then."

Smith is currently competing at his second Olympics.
