Rachel Newey and Gareth Hains, the young Be Number 1 karate exponents, are celebrating after being selected to represent England at the World Junior and Cadet Karate Championships, which take place in Rabat, Morocco in November.
Both 16-year-old Rachel, who struck gold last month when she won the Junior Female Kata category at the prestigious WKF World Youth Cup at Chalkida in Greece, and Gareth, 18, will compete in the Juniors. Jack Newey, 14, Rachel’s younger brother, narrowly missed out on automatic selection for the Cadets, but has the consolation of being the first reserve.
“It is a great honour to have been selected,” said Rachel. “But there is plenty of hard work, in terms of training and preparation, to be done between now and November.” |

As a member of Be Number 1, as well as giving financial support to a British athlete, you can show the world what a great sportsperson you are via your own B#1 Sports Page.
Each member is given a page on the Be Number 1 web site where you can show your own sporting highlights in the shape of blogs, photo galleries and video clips.
We’d like this to be very much sports, health and fitness orientated, so perhaps a bit different from other places on the internet where you can post. The most interesting Sports Page each month will be featured on the Be Number 1 Home page – so pick an athlete, sign up and get posting.
