Multi Nations update
Olympic prospects from Britain, Kazakhstan, Sweden and France are enjoying a week of training at Sheffield's English Institute of Sport this week, before the weekend's Multi Nations tournament.
The athletes have been bridging the language gap to test the facilities at the EIS, including the running track, regeneration and hydrotherapy areas and combat hall. Exciting sparring sessions have seen the boxers get a taster of what they will be up against in the forthcoming Olympic qualifyers in Pescara, Italy, and they'll get the chance to relax briefly and take in some other sports with basketball and ice hockey matches later in the week.
Here are some pictures of the action so far...
