Gymnast trains with Soleil troupe
THE sky is the limit for gymnast Mark Freeman who has just jetted off to Canada to train with the world-famous Cirque du Soleil.
The former Bury Grammar School student, pictured, will spend three months in the international HQ of Cirque du Soleil, where he will learn circus skills and how to interact in front of audiences of 3,000.
The 24-year-old won gold in the rings event in the European Junior Championships in Greece in 2002 and made sporting history by scooping the first ever men’s artistic gold medal in British gymnastics.
