World Championships 2014
I've just returned from the Olympic Training Centre in Colorado where I attended the IBSA Senior World Championships. The GB squad comprised of Jono Drane, Gavin Towers, Chris Skelley and Natalie Greenhough.
Unfortunately for me my draw was simply horrific, pulling the Paralympic Gold and Bronze medallists in the first round :(
Unfortunately I didn't medal in this competition but it was a great experience for me and has given me knowledge of the guys I am going to be facing in the next few years!
Jono gained a superb bronze medal and Skelley came 7th.
Was a great week away in a superb setting. Eagerly awaiting the next tournament now!!

German Open and Training Camp
I'm just back from attending the German Open in Heildelburg. This was my first VI competition (as I was injured for the last) and it was also a senior competition.
I'm pleased to say a got a silver in this event!
A 2 day training camp followed the event which was hard work but I picked up
Some useful tips.
On my return to the UK I saw that the BJA had been busy promoting the event and the teams results which was great.
My college and the BJA arranged for me to undertake a live radio interview with BlindSports Radio in Australia and I have just done another radio interview for the college radio station!! Must be famous!
