Meet the seven-year-old gymnast winning gold and training with children twice her age
A seven-year-old gymnast who trains twice a week with children twice her age has just won gold in her first competition. Isla Procter, from Salisbury, started power tumbling at two years ago at five years old and is now training with children aged between 12 and 15 at Basingstoke Gymnastics Club due to her skill and talent. Her mother, Charlotte Procter, said Isla fell in love with the sport during her time with Salisbury's PS Cheer Squad, which led them to find a place where her talents could be further developed. Despite the gym being an hour away, Isla's day involves leaving school early, eating dinner on the way, completing homework during spare moments at the gym, and training hard in her three-hour sessions, four times a week.

55-marathon challenge runner to be in Bradford this Saturday
A runner who is undertaking one marathon in each of 55 English cities will tackle his fifth this Saturday (August 2) in Bradford. Adam Rodriguez, 28, from Bath, is running the marathons to raise funds for charity Move Against Cancer, having been inspired by his mother's own cancer journey. He began the challenge in Hereford on July 5, and will continue through to July 2026. Mr Rodriguez said: "A few years ago my mother bravely battled large B-cell lymphoma in three places, and while she survived, the journey tested every part of our family. "I'm passionate about trying to raise money for Move Against Cancer because they bring hope, movement, and community to people navigating the weight of cancer, reminding us that no one goes through it alone." Mr Rodriguez's final marathon will be in Salisbury. The day before that, he will be running a marathon in London - so he will be capping his challenge with two marathons in as many days. Since he works full-time, Mr Rodriguez is running his marathons on Saturdays and Sundays. Donations can be made to Mr Rodriguez's fundraising campaign via JustGiving at
