dan_999uk Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Quote A diver who could not swim and hated heights is to compete for Team GB at the Olympic games in Paris after he was talent spotted while at school. Keen gymnast Jordan Houlden, 25, was picked as having Olympic potential when he was just eight years old when spotters went to his school in Sheffield. He said that as a child diving "wasn't the first thing I ever wanted to do". He said he had preferred BMX riding, boxing or karate but added that he now loved the sport. "It is quite surreal knowing I'm going to perform on a big stage like that - mind-blowing really," he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
