Jessica Learmonth of Leeds has won England’s first medal of the 2018 Commonwealth Games by finishing second in the women’s triathlon on Australia’s Gold Coast. The 29-year-old finished 43 seconds behind of Flora Duffy of Bermuda. Foundation supporters and Yorkshire Young Award winners, Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, missed out on the medals in the men’s event.
2016 Personality of the Year winner, Nile Wilson, made an outstanding contribution on all apparatus as England won gold in the men’s gymnastics team final. Wilson has now qualified for the all-round final. Good Luck Nile from all at the Yorkshire Young Achievers Foundation.
