Three young athletes with medal hopes for the London 2012 Olympics visited a Gerrards Cross school.

British judo medal holders Sarah and Sophie Pang and netball player Jade Forbes-Wattley made the trip to St Mary's CofE school, in Packhorse Road, on Tuesday, September 16 as part of their Year 2 Famous People topic.

The Pang sisters, both from Pinewood Judo club demonstrated a number of simple throws and gave a talk to the children about the importance of a balance diet and a breakdown of the exercise and training they undertake.

Jade, a star for Brunel Hurricanes, showed off some of her skills before the children had the chance to catch a ball and score a goal in the playground.
