Brad Returns from Youth Olympics

Bradley Denny of Archers of Raunds returned from China this week where he competed in the Youth Olympic Games. This is what he had to say about his experience on his Facebook page.

“I have really enjoyed competing in the Youth Olympic Games. I have had my best individual result at international competition so far! Being knocked out in the 1/4 finals and with a final rank of 8th. I’m even more pleased with our shooting in the mix team, also getting knocked out in the 1/4 finals being decided with a shoot-off and with a final rank of 5th place.

I would seriously like to Thank friends and family and the support they showed for me from back home, on this particular trip being in China for so long, it was very helpful! All the words of encouragement were really nice to read and know that so many people are behind me!”

Also, a few days ago it was announced that Brad, along with Bryony Pitman have been selected by the British Olympic Association to represent Great Britain at the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing.

The pair, both 17, will be among 33 British athletes competing across 14 sports for the Games, which run from 16 to 28 August.

Youth Olympics call-up for Bradley and Bryony

Bradley and Bryony secured their places during the World Youth Archery Championships in Wuxi last year. But what could it mean for them? As well as finding out more about the Chinese culture, the Olympic Movement and its values, they will be mixing with around 3,600 athletes from 200 nations.

Bradley said: “Nanjing is going to be fantastic experience for me and I’m so proud to have been selected to represent Team GB at the Youth Olympic Games. It’s a big multi-sport event, which is rare for archery, so it’s a chance to meet and learn from so many other athletes. Hopefully it can be a stepping-stone for my dream to, one day, compete at the Olympics.”
