A TEENAGE gymnast from a sporty family is hoping to be picked for the Commonwealth games next year.

Charlotte McKenna has just returned from a north European championship where she won two bronze medals for her footwork on the bars and beam.

The 15 year old, who attends Hedingham School, is no stranger to competition, as every other member of her family competes at a high level in their own sport.

Charlotte’s dad Owen is a professional golfer, who teaches the sport, while her mum Jo used to compete at dressage.

Older brother Harry, 17, is pro at motocross and younger sister Katie, who is 13, is a regional level trampolinist.
