TAEKWONDO MEDAL WINNER SETS SIGHT ON WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

Fighting fit Cameron Park has parent power to thank after scooping a British Championship medal in Taekwondo. The University of Sunderland student has been training in the martial art for a decade – thanks to dad John. John, who also works at the University, encouraged his son to take up the discipline which he himself had been practising since 1984. Now Cameron, already a member of the University’s Elite Athlete Scheme, has his sights firmly set on the World Championships in Denmark next year after picking up silver in last month’s British National Championships.
