Career

She represented Team GB at the 2015 European Youth Olympic Festival, earned a well deserved Silver medal on Beam at the English Championships in 2017 and came fourth in the all-around competition at the 2018 British Championships[3]

Her performances earned her a place in the Team England squad where she represented her country in the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Queensland. She contributed to England's silver medal in the team competition missing out on the Gold Medal by 0.425 points.[4]

She was selected as a member of the team to represent Great Britain in the inaugural European Championships in Glasgow, August 2018 where she performed on both Bars and Vault,[5] with the team eventually narrowly missing out on the Bronze medal.

College career

On 23 November 2018 she announced her commitment to the University of Arkansas to compete for the Arkansas Razorbacks gymnastics team for the 2020-21 academic year.[6] However, on 16 September 2019 Stanhope announced she had switched her verbal commitment to the University of Utah to compete for the Utah Red Rocks gymnastics team for the 2020-21 academic year.[7]
