Article 2- Bradbeer strikes gold. Final draft

Victory has arrived at last for Clevedon’s Stephanie Bradbeer. Winning five medals in the swimming category at Berlin’s European Championships, on Saturday.
She has been a budding swimmer from the age of four, when she envisioned herself winning the Olympics. Now she is one step closer to her dream.
While in Berlin, Bradbeer struck gold for Britain and for herself, winning first place in two categories. She also won two silver medals and one bronze medal.
The seventeen year old attends Clevedon Comprehensive School, and as well as having an intensive training schedule, Bradbeer had to revise for her A Levels, “It was very hard, but I seemed to manage it, any free time would be filled with revision.” Bradbeer will find out her exam results in February, hoping the hard work paid off.
During the coming months to Berlin, Bradbeer’s training regime was made tougher in order of striking gold. “My hours were doubled, meaning I would have to get up very early before school and practise till late after school.”
Bradbeer is truly determined and focused; proving that she is capable of achieving any things, “All the training has paid off and I still can’t get over the medals I’ve won! Incredible sense of achievement.”
Bradbeer received a full reception of friends and family, cheering her on when she returned back home to her home town, Clevedon, “It was great to see her again, especially with her fantastic achievement! We’re so overwhelmed with happiness for her.” Stephanie’s aunty, Jot Rivers, 47, told us.
Bradbeer has already started training for the world championships in Rome, happening in November 2010. “I’m in for another hard and long yeah of training with the added pressure of university, but I’m going to have to plunge myself into it, I’m determined to have another successful year.”
It seems there’s no stopping Bradbeer, and Clevedon will be backing her all the way to the Olympics.


A continuous problem which i seem to be doing was not being able to achieve the correct tone of the stories and also seem to be telling the articles like stories. Just as I did with the first article, was having to do further research and taking time to think about how it should be. This is the final draft of the story.
