TWELVE year-old Ewan McAteer from Lisburn received two pieces of good news last week. He has been chosen as a Torch Bearer to carry the Olympic Torch through Portadown on June 5, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Public Holiday.
Ewan has also been selected to represent Methodist College and Northern Ireland in gymnastics at the UK School Games to be held in the London Olympic stadium in May.
The young sportsman trains six days a week and has competed in the British Gymnastics Championships and the UK School Games. He is the current Northern Ireland U12 Champion and is on the Irish Gymnastics Squad.
