EIGHT-year-old Otley girl Kira Grahamslaw is making her mark in the sport of fencing.
Just seven months after taking up the sport she won a bronze medal in the under-10 foil at the Yorkshire Youth Championships.
The Bronte House pupil followed up by taking gold in the under-nine foil at the Leon Paul Junior Series in Durham.
Kira trains at the Harrogate Fencing club under the guidance of coaches of Simon Trevithick and former international Helen Kay.
She took up fencing after being introduced to the sport while on a school residential trip last May.
Kira enjoys a range of sports and enjoys gymnastics, tennis cycling and netball.
