São Paulo Brazilian Grand Prix

Another successful trip for the GB VI Squad!!

After a mammoth 12 hour flight we arrived in the busy city tired and hot but ready to fight! 

I had the pleasure of fighting 2 Brazilians, one of whom won the Bronze at the World  Champs in Colorado so he is quite tasty! I nearly had him on a few occasions but unfortunately he managed to edge the win. His compatriot however got thrown by me in about 10 seconds!

So a silver medal for me, Chris and Jono got gold and Nat got bronze. 4/4 medals and we came second overall on the medal table!

We had a 4 day training camp after the competition which was really good but man was it hot out there! Good to start acclimatising ready for next year though! 

Next stop is a week in Edinburgh then a long weekend in Germany. Next update will be after the European Open in Germany.

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!!
