Opus Energy, the UK’s largest independent business energy
supplier, is giving young gymnasts in Northamptonshire the opportunity
to win four tickets to the European Gymnastic Championships, and a
training session with Olympic hopeful Daniel Keatings.
The energy supplier sponsors 20 year old artistic gymnast, Daniel Keatings and has
launched the competition to offer keen youngsters the opportunity to experience the
world of Europe’s gymnasts first-hand.
Senior coach of Kettering Olympic Gymnastics Club, Marie Mitchell, said:
“We are delighted that Opus Energy has created a fantastic opportunity that will
inspire young gymnasts to excel in the sport. The club is thrilled at the prospect
of having local hero Daniel run a training session. Who knows, one of the
competition winners may one day emulate Daniel and be in with a chance of Olympic
success.”
Daniel is showing huge potential for the 2012 Olympics having already won Britain’s
first ever medal at the men’s All Around event at the 2009 World Championships.
Having trained hard in Mexico for the European Championships, Daniel is hopeful for
this year’s competition, commenting: “Hopefully we will get on the podium for the
first time as a team at the major championships.”
Opus Energy has supported many local initiatives including a pledge to raise £10,000
for the Friends of Cynthia Spencer Hospice.
