It’s been a fantastic couple of weeks at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow for Somersault’s sporting clients. We work with a wide range of sports and it was great to see England Netball, Badminton England and members of the England boxing and Athletics teams in action. In the boxing ring, Scott Fitzgerald, who featured in our Sport England Inspired Facilities film, brought home the gold for England in the Welterweight division. Elsewhere, a number of badminton players we have worked with won medals, including husband and wife pairing Chris and Gabby Adcock picking up the gold in the mixed doubles. Badminton England won 5 medals in total and Imogen Bankier picked up a bronze for Scotland. England’s netballers also put in an outstanding showing, narrowly losing out to both Australia in the pool stages and New Zealand in the semi final. Their last second defeat to New Zealand was heart breaking but showed they can compete with the very best in the world. In the marathon, England‚Äôs Amy Whitehead, who has featured in a number of Somersault produced videos, came in ninth in a time of 2.25.6. Somersault would like to extend huge congratulations to all the athletes who competed at the Games- we see firsthand how hard they work and it’s great to see their talent being recognised and rewarded!
