Penny Mitchell

Penny is inspirational. Whilst training for trampoline competition she fell and suffered an injury to her arm that required five operations during the following three days. Over the ensuing weeks and despite being warned that she may she loose the arm and would probably never regain full motion she vowed to return and fulfil her dream of competing in the Olympics. Penny left hospital after a month with her arm intact and was back on a trampoline inside four months. Having astounded her coach and surgeons; Penny has now been selected for the England team and has dedicated her life to competing in Rio in 2016. She fits in a part-time university course and a job so that she can carry out the six day a week training schedule and is firmly on track for a GB place in 2016.
