It's official; Larbert's Asia Bailey is now a national rising star!
The hugely talented fifteen-year-old - Scotland's first-ever taekwondo athlete to win a medal at a World Championships – has been selected to become a Jaguar Rising Star in the luxury carmaker's Academy of Sport Mentoring and Education Programme.
LAST year Larbert's Asia Bailey became Scotland's first Taekwondo athlete to win a medal at a World Championship when she took a Bronze Medal at the Junior Worlds in Egypt. And now her Dad, Seventh Dan Master David Bailey, has just returned from the World Masters Games in Italy with a Gold Medal, making him Scotland's second World Medallist.
Billed as "the Olympics for Veterans" with all competitors over the age of 35, the World Masters Games, held in Turin, featured thirty sports played out at venues throughout the city. The Taekwondo event attracted 160 competitors from 27 countries.
8 Golds, 5 silvers & 4 Bronze.
Fantastic results.
Well done team
