In 2024 at the Paris Olympic Games Harry Hepworth made history winning the bronze medal on the vault and becoming the first British man ever to achieve that milestone. Harry started the sport at the age of eight after seeing a live gymnastics demonstration during a visit from a local athlete to his school. In the three years prior to that encounter Harry had been diagnosed with Perthes disease and was unable to participate in sports activities. He entered Leeds gymnastics club with the goal of learning a backflip and is now one of the most exciting young talents in the world. In 2023 he made his senior global championships debut at the World championships in Belgium, qualifying into three individual apparatus finals and making history in the process. At the age of 18 Harry was sidelined with a double stress fracture in his spine which makes his Olympic success at the age of just twenty even more remarkable. And this is his story.
