Commonwealth Games stars welcomed back to 海角直播

海角直播 marked the homecoming of two of its Commonwealth Games stars with a celebration on campus.

Jade Jones-Hall, a final-year law student, and Harry Tanfield, who is studying for a master鈥檚 in civil and structural engineering, have just returned to 海角直播 after representing their country at the games in Australia. Both won places on the podium after impressive performances. Jade, 22, claimed gold for England in the para-triathlon after a dominant display and went on to achieve bronze in the women鈥檚 T54 marathon.

Harry, 23, won silver for England in the men鈥檚 individual time trial, finishing 30 seconds behind Australia鈥檚 Cameron Mayer.

They were formally congratulated by Professor Mark Simpson, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Learning and Teaching), in front of a crowd of staff and students in The Gym on the University campus.

Jade is no stranger to international competitions having competed at the Paralympic Games in 2012 and 2016. At this year鈥檚 Commonwealth Games she had the honour of being closing ceremony flag-bearer for Team England.

Although they have only recently arrived home, there is no rest for the pair as Jade went straight on to race in the London Marathon and Harry is preparing for the Klondike Grand Prix cycle road race on 29 April.

Both Jade and Harry are members of the University鈥檚 elite athlete scheme and they received support from Sport and Wellbeing in the run up to the games.

The scheme provides access to state-of-the-art equipment and expertise to athletes at international level or with exceptional international potential. It provides a comprehensive support package individually tailored to meet the needs of the individual.

Athletes can access academic and sports science support such as physiological and biomechanical assessment, monitoring of training loads, strength and conditioning, physiotherapy and sports psychology support.
