Valentina, in Year 10, competed for England in the World Championships last week. The world-class Rye College student won gold for Team England in Muay Thai. As well as this, Valentina also captured a silver medal in K1 Kickboxing!

After a relentless couple of days, she held strong both physically and mentally for her team. Valentina was also chosen to represent Team England at the opening ceremony leading up front carrying the flag.

She is now totally exhausted and will rest and recuperate before getting back in the gym to train for her British title bout later this year.

A fantastic achievement - congratulations from everyone at Rye College!
