Podium Success for Chelmsford City Sports Ambassador Lulu Alexandra
Chelmsford City Sports Ambassador - Lulu Alexandra returned from the ISU Adult International Figure Skating competition in Germany with another podium finish. Achieving 3rd place in the Gold Women Artistic event!
Lulu also had the incredible achievement of a 5th place finish in the Gold Women's free skate. These achievements are even more incredible by the fact that 4 years ago, Lulu underwent a reconstructive surgery on her foot and was told she would never skate again.
Lulu's story and achievement is an inspiration to many, and we are proud to have her representing us as a Sports Ambassador!
