We found out about how he came to be a hammer thrower and how he made it in to the Olympic team for the Rio Olympics. We also had an opportunity to ask him some questions before taking part in a sponsored event. We thoroughly enjoyed doing spotty jumps, leg drives, press ups and star jumps. What a truly wonderful experience it was! ### Year 2 Olympian event 2023
