Isle Of Wight Flying High At 2023 NatWest International Island Games

Team Isle of Wight has made a golden start to the 2023 NatWest International Island Games.

The team occupies second place in the medals table, having already scooped an impressive 10 medals - 7 of which have been golds (two silvers and one bronze making up the total.)

The event, which began on Saturday (July 8), will run until this Friday (July 14.)

Shooting

Shooting has proven a fruitful avenue for Isle of Wight podium finishes, with four gold medals, one silver and one bronze so far.

Jennie Cartwright picked up gold in the Shooting Sport Trap individual women's event, with Daniel Bishop doing the same in the men's event.

Meanwhile, both the men's and women's teams in the collective event were also winners.

Jai Nolan nabbed silver in the men's NPA Police Pistol Open, while the Isle of Wight's men's Air Pistol team took bronze.

Cycling

Two more gold medals have been secured in cycling, with Kevin Chant fastest in the Men's Individual Time Trial and the second win courtesy of a Men's Time Trial Team victory.

Athletics

Another gold was added to the tally courtesy of Andy Frost in the men's hammer, while Amy Kelland took silver in the women's 10,000m.
