Local Olympian Visits School
Today we were visited by Vicky Holland, an Olympic Triathlon Bronze Medallist at this years Olympic Games in Rio, Brazil. While at school in Newent she was a nationally ranked swimmer before moving to athletics and taking up the 1500 metres. She didn't begin competing in triathlons until her second year at Loughborough University when she was approached by British Triathlon. She has competed in competitions all over the world and we were very lucky to have her visit us today. She talked to the children about her training schedule and her time in Brazil during this years games.
