Redhill student Jude Irons has joined a growing list of ‘Redhill Legends’ at Redhill Academy this year after an amazing year of gymnastic success.
Jude has made the Team GB U18s Junior Squad after representing Great Britain in Switzerland where the GB team placed second. Notts Gymnastics Academy congratulated Jude on their social media last month saying “Congratulations to Jude who had a great competition out in Switzerland yesterday representing Great Britain. He helped the team achieve 2nd place! Well done Jude!”
The young athlete trains between 26 and 30 hours per week to maintain his elite level performance including after school and weekend sessions.
Jude also represented Notts Gymnastics Academy at the 2023 British Gymnastics Championships. He took home Gold on the pommel horse in the men’s under 14s apparatus and won the bronze all-around medal. Jude joined the Notts Gymnastics Club aged seven and began competing regionally after taking up gymnastics at Robin Hood Gymnastics when he was just five years of age.
His list of achievements also include 2022 British Champion, 2023 British Champion, 2023 English champion and Wohnen Junior Champion.
Redhill Academy said “This is a massive achievement for Jude and the team are all very proud!”
Jude aspires to continue competing internationally and make it to the Olympics.
