Chris Tomlinson celebrates sport with Year 9 pupils
Sports day records: Girls’ school athletes impress GB Olympic star
TEAM GB long jumper Chris Tomlinson was on hand with top tips at Camden School for Girls’ Year 9 sports day in Finsbury Park. Tomlinson, who holds the current British long jump record – at 8.29 metres – and has competed in two Olympic Games, is coaching at the school as part of the England Athletics school/club link initiative.
The Camden-based jumper was treated to a great day of record-breaking action, with Tope Matti setting a new record of 28.32 seconds in 200m and Whitney Roach achieving a record 4.79m in the long jump.
