YEAR 5 and 6 pupils from Ysgol Bro Teifi in Llandysul were surprised to meet double gold Olympian, Dame Kelly Holmes, on a recent trip to the National Assembly for Wales.
Dame Kelly, who was visiting the National Assembly in Cardiff to promote her charity work, was introduced to the pupils by Elin Jones AM. Dame Kelly won her gold medals in the Sydney Olympics, in both the 800m and 1500m events.
Elin Jones said: “It was a pleasure to see the reaction of the pupils to meeting a real life Olympian and getting the chance to hold the gold medals.
“I hope that this will inspire them and that we might see some more Ceredigion Olympians as a result.”
