Year 9 Student competes for GBR in Tumbling
Year 9 student Harry flew to Loulé, in Portugal, on Wednesday of half-term to compete in Tumbling for Team GBR in the Loulé International Cup. He competed on Thursday and got through the qualifying rounds in 3rd position to tumble in Saturday’s final in the men’s 13-14 age group, competing alongside athletes from Portugal, USA, Belgium, France, Spain and other GBR teammates.
He made the semi-final in 3rd place to make the top 4 qualifying gymnasts. Then he completed the final, winning a bronze medal!
On Saturday morning, Harry competed in a mixed age team event, representing GBR, again alongside other nations, winning GOLD, which was a huge achievement!
His parents said, "It was a really exciting competition to follow from home, watching on the live stream as best we could and, of course, we were extremely proud of Harry’s achievements but also the way he managed independently abroad and representing the country."
Well done, Harry, we are all very proud of you!
