COMMONWEALTH Games silver medallist Luke Cutts is back home in Thurnscoe and hopes his achievements will inspire local children.
The pole vaulter, 26, cleared 5.55m before losing out on gold to fellow countryman Steve Lewis in a jump-off at Hampden Park in Glasgow on Friday evening.
Luke is now preparing to jet out to Switzerland for the European Championships and will also be a contender for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
** The full interview with Luke appears in the Barnsley Chronicle newspaper, dated August 8. **
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
