ANOTHER local youngster aiming high is 11-year-old gymnast Alex Jukes, pictured left.

The Chepstow Comprehensive pupil, who trains near Bristol, has already represented Wales and Great Britain and has travelled to Newcastle, Scotland and Eastern Europe to compete this year.

His mother, Rachel, said: "He started when he was six and has had to grow up a lot. But he has so much natural talent and his coaches say he has the potential to compete at the very top standard."
