Rebecca Romero hoping to win medals in two different sports

Rebecca Romero is hoping to become only the second woman in Olympic history to win medals in two different sports.

She won a silver medal in the quadruple sculls in Athens and has now turned to cycling.

She recently won the 3000 meter cycling World Cup in Copenhagen.

Romero said: “It was my first gold medal as a cyclist after a number of silvers.

“It is a long time since I was on top of a podium standing there for the national anthem and it was a fabulous feeling.”

13-year old diving prodigy Tom Daley wins bronze

Tom Daley from Britain, who is just 13 years old won a bronze medal in the synchronised 10 meter platform at a World Cup meeting currently being held in Beijing, securing a place in the diving for Britain in the process.

Their own spots in the team are still undecided as they face a national selection in June.

His partner in the event is Blake Aldridge is 25 years old.

“We dived really well and I just can’t believe we won a medal as well as qualifying Britain for the Olympics,” said Daley last night. “It’s been an absolute rollercoaster of a ride.

“We didn’t dive at all well this morning and at one stage looked like we might not make it. We eventually finished ninth, made the final and then came away with a bronze. It’s totally amazing.”
