BTEC Level 2 Extended Certificate in Sport learner Ben Yates reached new heights in his field as he earned a gold medal in Men’s Senior Synchronised Trampoline.
Alongside sporting partner Chad Godwin, Ben scored a total of 13.240 at the English Trampolining Championships, cinching the gold and preparing him for more future successes.
Reflecting on his win, and looking forward to the future, Ben shared, “I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished. There’s always room to improve and I’m looking forward to building on this performance for the future.”
Ben has been continuing to grow his budding gymnastics career, having previously represented the East Midlands at the National Trampolining Final in Birmingham in 2019, and being ranked 6th place at the Regional Trampoline Championships in 2021.
A member of Charnwood Trampoline Club, and recognised by British Gymnastics, Ben remains on the rise. Lecturer Danny Lee expressed his joy by adding, “It’s fantastic to see our learners performing on such big stages and winning gold medals. Huge congratulations, Ben! We are excited to see what you go on to achieve next.”
