Bronze for Aaron in Prague!

A big well done to Aaron Thompson who competed in the World Dragon Boat Championships in Prague.
Aaron has been training with the GB junior team since being selected in April.
During the four days of competition the team took part in junior ‘open’ and ‘mixed’ events over 1000m, 500m and 200m. They won through to the major final in the ‘mixed 200m’ event and paddled brilliantly to win the bronze medal. 
It is the first time in six years that the team has won a medal at the world championships and the juniors were the only GB team to win a medal at the event! So it really is a fantastic achievement.

If you look carefully you can just see the top of Aaron’s head, third from the back.
