A youngster from West Wickham has her sights set on Olympic glory after making a splash in the diving world.

Louise Bradley, 13, just returned from a trip to Rome where she represented England clinching a silver and bronze medal.

The Hayes Secondary pupil was competing in the Trofeo Niccolo Campo Competition where she came second on the 7.5 metre platform dive and third on the 3 metre springboard.

Louise, who lives Harvest Bank Road with her parents, earned her place after winning two golds, a silver and bronze medal in May at the National Junior Elites in Sheffield.

After returning to the UK last Friday (July 31), she is in the process of moving from the England Talent Zone Squad to the National Talent Squad.

She first got into the sport when she was seven after talent scouts came to her school, Wickham Common Primary School.

"I watched the diving in the Olympics with Tom Daley, it inspired me to carry on. I'd definitely like to be in the Olympics in the future, I think the one I could enter is the 2020 Tokyo games.

"It felt really good to win medals in Rome.”

Her mother, Bromley's Valley Primary assistant head Katie Bradley, added: "When she was young she was always good at swimming. She used to do other things but she's given that all up now to focus on the diving.

"We're so proud of her."

Over the coming year she will get the chance to try out to represent England and Great Britain in competitions.
