Top 10 finish for Kristian Thomas
After a brilliant performance  by Team GB in the gymnastics Wednesfield’s Kristian Thomas and team mate Dan Purvis finished 7th and 13th respectively in the All Around gymnastics individual final.
It is the first time either have competed in the Olympics and this performance follows their Bronze medal awarded for  the team event earlier this week.
Kristian’s sister in law, Emma  Clarke, tweeting from home as the rest of the family were in the North Grenwich Arena cheering Kritian on  said she was  ”Proud beyond belief ” – as we all should be it takes a lot of hard work and determination to qualify for the Olympics, let alone reach the final in such style.  Kristian is a great role model for Wednesfield’s youth.
The competition isn’t over yet for him – There is still Monday’s final in the Vault to come! Catch it live on the BBC from 15:40

Steph Jennings I have nearly always lived in Wednesfield, I moved away briefly but missed the sense of community and so swiftly moved back! I honestly believe Wednesfield has more to offer than the residents often give it credit for and wanted to do something to redress the balance of negativity around where we live. Working for a media company using the internet and social media as a marketing tool I had the skills and passion to help set up WV11.co.uk so did!
