He won silver as a member of the Great Britain team at the 2023 European Artistic Gymnastics Championships.[3] He also participated at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.[4]
Early life and education
At the age of five Hepworth was diagnosed with Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease which sidelined him from sporting activity for three years. He then took up artistic gymnastics shortly after this.
He attended Prince Henry's Grammar School, Otley.[5]

At the 2024 European Championships Hepworth helped Great Britain finish second as a team behind Ukraine. In June of that year he was selected to represent Great Britain at the 2024 Summer Olympics alongside Jake Jarman, Joe Fraser, Luke Whitehouse, and Max Whitlock.[6] Hepworth won bronze in the vault at the Games in Paris, becoming the first British man to claim an Olympic medal in the discipline.[7][8][9]
