Daniel Keatings has vowed not to let his world silver medal go to his head as he bids to fulfil his growing international potential before the London 2012 Olympics.

The 19-year-old shot to prominence last month when he became the first British male to win a world all-around medal, a year after finishing 20th at the Olympics in Beijing.

Keatings is currently in limbo regarding what path to follow in 2010 with the World Championships in Rotterdam set to start just three days after the Commonwealth Games finish in Delhi in October.

But whatever the outcome Keatings, who made his Commonwealth bow for Scotland in Melbourne in 2006, admitted his coming of age on the world stage won't affect him one bit.

"There's going to be a lot of expectation on me now but I'm just going to try and knock that back and focus on what I have to do," said Keatings.

"I want to carry on training the way I was training and just act the same way I was as if I wasn't a world silver medallist.

"I'm happy to have won the medal so early in the Olympic cycle and it shows where I'm at this early stage but I've still got a lot to learn.

"I'm still improving and there's still two and half years until the Olympics and I should be a lot better than I am now.

"The Commonwealths next year are in the back of my mind but obviously I'm still not sure because the World Championships are quite close to that."
