HORSELL teenager Rhys Conlon is back home after starring for Great Britain at the International Federation of Sport Climbing World Youth Championships in Voronezh, Russia.

The 14-year-old’s father, Greg, told the News & Mail: “Rhys was selected in all three Olympic disciplines of lead, boulder and speed.

“In lead, his first Great Britain representative competition, he finished an excellent 11th, one hold short of a final spot.

“Next, in bouldering, he qualified in fourth place for the final, guaranteeing a world top-six rank. Rhys finished sixth in the final.

“Then he competed in speed. He was not expected to rank high – speed is very much a standalone discipline – but he was hoping for a top-five finish in the combined ranking, Olympic style.

“Rhys finished fourth in the all-round Olympic format including speed.”

After the results were announced, Woking High School – where the talented teen is a pupil – tweeted: “Outstanding! Who knows, we might see Rhys in the Olympics?”
