We are incredibly proud to share the outstanding achievements of our student, Sophie Paice, who once again shown incredible dedication, focus, and skill at the European Championships held recently in Riga, Lativa.
Fitness Coaching, Level 2 student Sophie, fought through a series of challenging rounds, displaying remarkable determination and composure on her journey to the final - where she successfully retained her title as Kumite European Champion!
Her success didn’t stop there. Competing alongside her teammates, Sophie also helped the team secure the title of European Team Champions, as well as earning a silver medal in the Team Rotation event.
Altogether, Sophie returns home with two gold medals, one silver medal – and a black eye! A light-hearted reminder of just how tough it is to compete at such a high level.
Alongside her sporting success, Sophie is currently studying for her Level 2 Fitness Coaching qualification here at North Kent College, balancing her studies with a demanding training and competition schedule. Her recent achievements is a testament to her hard work, perseverance and passion for her sport.
Congratulations Sophie – we are all so proud of you and can’t wait to hear more about your amazing experience in Lativa!
