Steven "Steve" Jehu (born 1 April 1987) is a British artistic gymnast from Exeter, Devon. In October 2010 he was part of the team which won the silver medal for England in the gymnastics in the men's artistic all-around team event at the 2010 Commonwealth Games.[1]
In 2004, Jehu survived a 33-foot fall from a hotel window in Ljubljana, Slovenia by completing a mid-air loop and gymnasts' landing to escape with only a broken ankle. The attending doctor who operated on his ankle said that he would have died if he hadn't used his gymnastic skills.[2]
