2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games

Talented athletes of Barking and Dagenham

Anthony Hughes - Gymnastics

Anthony Hughes just 16 years old, currently trains 30½ hours per week.

Through his dedication to men's artistic gymnastics, competing on 6 apparatus namely high bar, vault, rings, pommel horse, floor and the parallel bars, Anthony's most recent success was the London open March 2008 competing with the top elite level of Britain in the under 16's and gaining 6th place overall.

All this while also maintaining high results at school.

Ask Anthony about his social life and he responds with:

"Social life? Gym and school are my life - but the odd game of golf is a must!!"

Anthony's dream is to compete in the Olympics in London in 2012.
