Hannah Crymble swapped the uneven bars of the gymnastics arena for a weightlifting bar and has been rewarded by qualifying to represent Northern Ireland at this summer’s Commonwealth Games.
The 26-year-old nurse from Newtownards will compete in the 59kg weight category in Birmingham.
“It is quite exciting, it is not something I thought I would ever be doing and I’m looking forward to the whole experience and seeing how I get on, it is a dream come,” commented Crymble.
