Engineering graduates gymnastic win

(20 October 2005)

Recent first class engineering graduate Mark Fyson (Trevelyan College) has shown that being a top student academically does not have to exclude world class achievement elsewhere.

In a top ten International Gymnastics Federation list dominated by Russia and other former communist block countries, Mark and his partner Christopher Jones were recently ranked third in the world for Sports Acrobatics.

At the recent European Championships in Greece, Mark and his partner gained individual and team bronzes.

Both athletes were trained at the Deerness Club located at Deerness Comprehensive, a Sports College on the outskirts of Durham.
