Delhi not out of the question for golden girl Neves

DEEP down, Kristina Neves is just another normal 11-year-old girl.

But in reality, she is a young person with very special potential.

Just over a week ago, she secured a staggering nine gold medals at the national Bagcats meeting at Ponds Forge in Sheffield, making her the hottest talent in the country for her age group.

It is an achievement that even came as something of a surprise to her.

'I am really happy with Sheffield last week. I definitely didn't think that I would win so many gold medals.

'There wasn't a certain number that I hoped to win. I just went there and gave it my best shot,' she explained.
