Three young fencers from St Albans have won medals at an international competition in Istanbul.
Thea Joseph, from St Albans Girls' School, and Karolina Kabelis, from Loreto College, took gold in the U17 Cadet team event at the Istanbul U17 European Fencing Circuit.
Jayden Woo, a student at Beaumont School, won bronze in the individual competition.
Paul Davis, founder of the Paul Davis Fencing Academy, said: "This was an outstanding weekend for our athletes.
"To see Thea and Karolina win gold for Great Britain and continue the Academy’s strong record in Istanbul is a fantastic achievement.
"Jayden’s bronze is equally significant as our first boys’ U17 EFC medal."
The academy has now contributed athletes to the winning Great Britain team in Istanbul three times in the past four years.
Paul said: "All three athletes have worked incredibly hard and are a great example of what can be achieved through commitment, teamwork and the right support.
"We’re also very proud that these athletes are representing local schools on the international stage."
The academy also thanked fellow clubs Truro and Camden for their role in developing athletes for the national team.
