Sword has been training like a madman this last year. He has been working hard bringing his legs & back up. He competed at the NABBA SE last week and was not placed as well as expected. NABBA competitions go on height and if you are on the smaller side and you come up against a much bigger guy (such as Sword did against the awesome Steve Avery last week), then it becomes an uphill struggle.
Sword was very ill the following week as all the months of dieting had caught up with him. We advised him to pull out but he would have none of it. He was determined to enter one of the toughest shows in Britain, the EFBB SE. Now we know why! Despite having our own veteran Mr X in the same class, Sword won 1st place with a routine that was hailed by many as one of the best ever seen. Mr X came a close second. Well done to you both.
