Teen jiu-jitsu champion celebrates double gold win
Victoria, 15, a pupil at Lawn Manor Academy, was also made national champion at the GBJ Nationals in Walsall in June.
She started training at Swindon's Draco Dojo Martial Arts Academy in 2018 and has since competed at an international level, as well as being part of the GB Youth Team.
"It's an unbelievable achievement and I'm so proud of myself and everyone else who competed," she said.
She added: "It's such an amazing feeling to know that you've achieved something this big.
"The competition was very tough - you could tell everyone really wanted to win."
Competing in four matches, Victoria won each fight, resulting in her double gold medals, taking her total career medal tally to 10.
Victoria is currently training towards higher belts and plans to become an assistant before progressing to become a sensei.
"This year though, we've got more competitions planned and maybe a world competition later this summer too," she said.

'Judge us next summer' - England's T20 wake-up call
It is unlikely that anybody with an interest in England's post-Ashes rebuild - players, fans and the media alike - thought it would be straightforward. And while losing a series 3-2 may not look emphatic, England's first T20 series defeat at home by India has presented Charlotte Edwards and her side with a stark reality. Advertisement India's three wins were utterly dominant - by 97 runs, 24 runs and six wickets. Both of England's were nervy encounters won from the last ball after almost squandering winning positions. An impressive fightback at The Oval in the third match meant they kept the series alive. But the win at Edgbaston in the fifth counted for very little - the series was already gone. Once again, they put in a performance when there was not as much pressure on the line. The 50-over World Cup is looming, beginning in India at the end of September, but in the shorter format, Edwards has often spoken of England's "journey" to the home T20 tournament next year. Advertisement "We've still got a long way to go, I'm under no illusions about that," said Edwards after England's thrilling win at Edgbaston, but also expressed confidence in her side with a punchy challenge. "People have just got to be patient. And certainly in this format, we've got 12 months. You can judge us, come next July." Another often-repeated phrase from Edwards has been that England are a "team in transition". Frankly, this argument does not stack up. Yes, there is new leadership, and Edwards is trying to instil a little more smartness into England after they lost their way under Jon Lewis, whose mantra of "inspire and entertain" brought a struggle for clarity. Advertisement And losing world-class players in Nat Sciver-Brunt and Heather Knight would leave an enormous hole in any team. It is no surprise that England have struggled to fill that void. But they are a very experienced side. They are a group who have benefited enormously from the increased professionalisation of the women's game internationally and the majority of players have plied their trade in franchises around the world, too. Nine out of 11 players who played in the final T20 against Australia in January have featured in this series against India - and it would have been 10 if you assume Knight would be in the side if fit. The average age of England's side is 27.6 compared to India's 25, and they average 63.9 international caps per player against India's 56.3. Advertisement A significant problem for England after the Ashes was their perception with fans, and Edwards' honesty in admitting the scale of the challenge is likely to be received gratefully, but they are not an inexperienced or young team. The bigger conundrum is that they have very little time to put things right collectively - a tri-series in May next year with India and New Zealand are the only international T20s scheduled between now and the World Cup. Spin struggles and falling behind in the field Discussions surrounding England's inability to play spin are beginning to sound like a broken record. Advertisement Without a doubt, however, it is their most pressing concern. In 2022, England averaged 42.3 against spin in T20s, losing 25 wickets. The following year, they lost 46 wickets at an average of 18, and so far in 2025 they have lost 41 at 19.9. Their gameplan against slow bowling seems muddled, torn between attack and defence with batters regularly trapped on the crease or caught from attempted aggression. And while the approaching World Cup is in the longer format of the game, England's opponents will have their bowling strategies in place already, such is the predictability of their weakness. Edwards has also accepted England's huge need for improvement in the field, where they have been poor against India, with regular misfields and four dropped catches in the last five overs alone in the third encounter at The Oval. Advertisement "It's a mindset thing under pressure, but it's an area we work really, really hard on," said Edwards. "We are not going to hide away from that." India's fielding improvement, meanwhile, has been astronomical. They have charged in from the boundary to stop twos, regularly hauled the ball in from the ropes after covering masses of ground, and completed some staggering catches. At Edgbaston, this was epitomised by Em Arlott and Sophie Ecclestone backing out of catches on the boundary, letting the ball bounce in front of them and saving the runs instead. Radha Yadav, meanwhile, sprinted and dived full-stretch to dismiss Amy Jones in spectacular fashion even when the game was pretty much in England's hands. Advertisement Edwards and many players have cited India's huge improvement, largely a result of the Women's Premier League, which has been in existence for three years, and they regularly play in front of packed crowds where every game matters. But The Hundred is not too dissimilar for England, and they cannot use the excuse of not being under pressure enough when, for example, this does not seem to be an issue for Australia in international cricket. They are relentless, whoever they play, and India are following a similar trajectory. This scrutiny will not go away for England until they have a trophy or an Ashes series in the bag. And on that basis, yes - they will be judged come next July.

Anisimova 'frozen with nerves' in heavy Wimbledon loss
From the moment Amanda Anisimova stepped out on to Centre Court, you could see the tension etched across her face. The 23-year-old American had never played in a Grand Slam final before and, as the 6-0 6-0 defeat by Iga Swiatek in the Wimbledon final showed, the occasion overwhelmed her. Advertisement From the start of a match which lasted 57 minutes, Anisimova looked tight and made a stream of unforced errors as she fell to the heaviest defeat in a women's final at the All England Club in more than a century. "From my side, I think I was a bit frozen there with my nerves," said Anisimova, who will rise to a career high of seventh in the world rankings after a run that included beating world number one Aryna Sabalenka. "There's a lot of room for improvement. If anything, I think it's more experience for me on how to handle nerves. "It's my first Slam final, so at least I have that experience now." Advertisement Anisimova left the court briefly at the end of the match before returning for the prize-giving ceremony, where she was consoled by Catherine, Princess of Wales. Anisimova did not want to disclose the full nature of their conversation, but said the "kind words" offered by the royal helped pick her up. "It was such an honour to meet her," Anisimova added. "She definitely had a few things to say that were making me emotional again. She told me to keep my head high. "She had all the best to say to me. I guess it was a positive of today and I can try and focus on that and not the match." The Princess of Wales had "kind words" for Anisimova after a chastening afternoon [Getty Images] Anisimova, who also reached the Queen's final last month, said fatigue had played a part in her performance. Advertisement She did not practised on Friday and said she felt she "had to take a break after every single rally" during her warm-up on Saturday. "I feel like maybe the last few weeks have got to me in a way and I wasn't able to perform to my full potential," she told BBC Sport. "But I can still walk away from today with my head high. I am taking today as a learning experience and coming out a bit stronger." How quickly might Anisimova recover? Getting over a demoralising defeat can take time for some players. Germany's Alexander Zverev talked about "feeling lost" after suffering a third successive Grand Slam final defeat. Advertisement But others - like Jannik Sinner, who reached the Wimbledon men's final 35 days after losing a classic French Open final - have been able to quickly bounce back. Anisimova, who took a break from the sport two years ago to protect her mental health, might look to what she learnt during a stint studying business with psychology at university in California. She hopes a quote by American author Marianne Williamson - about how pain can "burn you up and destroy you or burn you up and redeem you" - will help the process. And she will also take inspiration from the quote from Rudyard Kipling's poem 'If' - 'If you can meet with triumph and disaster, and treat those two impostors just the same' - that is above the entrance to Centre Court. Advertisement "I think it's really helpful that that quote is up there and it's definitely going to stay on my mind the next few days," she told BBC Sport. Former world number one Tracy Austin said she hoped Anisimova would recover well because of the work she has done on her mentality. "Having her people around - her mum, sister and nephew are in town - will help," Austin told BBC Sport. "She might be able to quickly realise that it is her first major final against a former world number one who was 5-0 in major finals. "This was a lot for Amanda to take on. Wimbledon adds another 25-30% of pressure because it is Wimbledon." Advertisement Anisimova said she had never lost a match 6-0 6-0. "For it to be in my first Grand Slam final was definitely very hard to digest, but I've been in difficult situations before in my career, and I feel like I've learned so much from those moments," she told BBC Sport. "The only thing I told myself was to keep my head high and to keep fighting because I didn't want to let myself down at any moment." What's it like to be overcome by nerves? Anisimova showed nerves in some of her previous matches – including her semi-final win over top seed Sabalenka - but was able to overcome them. Advertisement While Anisimova said she felt nerves before the showpiece match, she added they were not "out of this world". But the pressure of playing in a Wimbledon final took its toll. "She's playing in front of 15,000 people and you feel such a pressure to perform," said former British player Naomi Broady. "People have spent so much money on their tickets and they want to see a great match and you are desperate to do so, not just for them but for yourself, your team, your family. "She just couldn't shake the nerves, the moment became too much for her."
