HGS Student chosen to represent Team GB at the  Skopje 2025 European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF)

The British Olympic Association (BOA) has announced the 54 athletes selected to represent Team GB at the Skopje 2025 European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF), and we couldn’t be prouder that Kaiden Hitchins, one of our students in Year 10, has been chosen to compete in the swimming.

The whole Handsworth Grammar School community is wishing him the best of luck for the Games, which run from the 20th – 26th July.  Team GB’s young athletes, all aged between 13 and 18, will compete in 10 of the 15 disciplines on the programme including artistic gymnastics, badminton, basketball 3×3, canoe slalom, judo, mountain bike, road cycling, swimming, table tennis and taekwondo.

This represents a tremendous achievement for Kaiden and is a testament to his dedication to 3.45am starts and training sessions in the depth of winter. We look forward to following Team GB’s progress but will be saving our loudest cheers for Kaiden!  #HGSCARES!
