A schoolgirl who discovered her "natural talent by accident" has gone on to win gold for Team GB.
Sophie Jo Millican, from Prescot, was just four years old when her coaches at Focus Gymnastics in Widnes first noticed her flair for trampolining. The 12-year-old, who is a pupil at Tower College at Rainhill, later became a member of Liverpool Trampolining Academy and has gone from strength to strength since then, winning her first competition, the Northwest Champion, in 2018.
Sophie was accepted onto Team GB's junior trampolining team at the start of this year and was the youngest person on her team to perform at the European Championships in Italy earlier this month.
