Overton CE Primary School was visited and inspired by another elite athlete today. Leon Greenwood spoke in a whole-school assembly about his career and achievements. He also put all the classes through their paces on the MUGA. 

After a devastating ankle injury ended Leon Greenwood's sprinting career, the former track star wondered if he would ever compete at an elite level again. But with grit and determination, Leon rebuilt his athletic prowess and set his sights on bobsleigh.  

At the recent World Championships in March 2024, Leon was part of the 4-man Bobsleigh team who finished 6^th.

Outside of bobsleigh, Leon is a qualified personal trainer and sprint coach and also volunteers at his local athletics track.

All of Overton wish him the best this year.
