Two gold medals!

20th May 2019

We are very proud of Neave who recently won two gold medals at the Dwarf Sports Association UK National Games.

The Dwarf Sports Association has chapters all over the UK; Neave is part of the Northern Ireland chapter. Neave meets several times a year with her chapter and every first weekend in May the DSA UK National Games take place in Birmingham, where athletes from all over the UK come to compete. There is track and field, weightlifting, badminton, hockey, football and swimming. There is a Gala on the Sunday night, with a banquet, dancing and raffles. It’s a great way for people with dwarfism to compete with others their size and ability – and there are a lot of very competitive athletes there! Check out dsauk.org to find out more.
