"[1] In March, Tunney placed eighth at the American Cup in New York, United States with an all around score of 52.132.

After qualifications, Tunney said, "I competed at the 2010 junior Euros but that was nothing like here, with a full crowd, it was really great I enjoyed every minute of it.

To make no mistakes in all my routines so far is brilliant, my floor has been solid all week so I'm looking forward to the final tomorrow.

[18] At the beginning of June, Tunney competed at an international friendly with gymnasts from Finland and Spain in Ipswich, United Kingdom which was also the second Olympic trial.

[19] At the end of June, Tunney competed at the British Championships in Liverpool, United Kingdom.

The main focus with it being the Olympic trial was to stay clean and I thought if I did that I could get maybe in the top 5 but to win is incredible.

Having won the junior title last year and moved straight up to win seniors is brilliant, I’m very happy.

[24] At the beginning of July, Tunney was selected to compete for the United Kingdom at the 2012 Summer Olympics,[25] making her the youngest athlete for Team GB at London 2012.

The others have tried to calm me down.”[27] At the end of July, Tunney competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England where she was Team GB's youngest athlete at the games,[28] aged 15.

"[34] On 23 April, it was announced by the British Olympic Association that Tunney was to represent Great Britain at the first ever European Games alongside 2014 Commonwealth champion Kelly Simm and senior newcomer Tyesha Mattis,[35] although due to perpetual injuries with Tunney and a recent operation with Mattis they were both withdrawn from the competition and replaced by double 2014 Commonwealth bronze medalist Georgina Hockenhull and 2014 World Championships reserve athlete Charlie Fellows.
