Athlete Resume
Leonora has improved considerably over the last season, becoming more consistent, and widening her range of competitions. Her national rankings are very strong, placing her third in cadet, fourth in junior and tenth in the senior epee standings.
Apart from good results in cadet internationals abroad, her best results have been her bronze in the GB U20 Championships and individual and team gold at the UK School Games last year. This year she is hoping to get selected for the Cadet European Championships in Austria and Cadet World Championships in Jordan.
Leonora works hard at fitness and technique to achieve her future potential. She does two hours of fitness training in the gym at school each day and develops her technique twice a week with her coach.
