Modern Pentathlon

Age: 16

Hello, I compete in Modern Pentathlon which involves the 5 sports of running, swimming, pistol shooting, show jumping and epee fencing. I also compete in triathlon (run/ swim/cycle) for fun. I started competing when I was 11 - initially biathlon then biathle and then triathlon. I am now learning to fence and ride. I train for around 20 hours a week however I also need to balance school work, family time, rest and fun! I would love to gain a selection for the Europeans this year. I am working hard to progress from the English Talent Pool onto the World Class Talent Programme. My dream is to achieve a place on the GB squad and who knows perhaps you will see me compete in the 2016-2020 Olympics.
