Law taekwondo star Hollie Waddell saw her dreams come true at the ITF European Championships in Romania after winning the gold medal – eight years on from handing them out.
Hollie was a medal bearer at the 2015 Championships when she helped present the champions with their awards, so it was a surreal moment for the 17-year-old last month when she ended up with one around her neck in Cluj.
She defeated Dutch opponent Myrthe van der Veer in the Junior Girls 14-17 years 65kg and over category to take home gold for Scotland.
Hollie, who took up the sport when she was six-years-old and trains under David Condie VI, managed to juggle the challenge of competing in the high-pressure environment with sitting two of her Higher exams while out in Romania.
