Talk about doing the town proud!
Sixteen-year-old Adele Nicoll has this morning qualified in ninth spot for the final of the IAAF World Youth Championships in Ukraine.
The youngster saved her best until last to throw 15.80m in the 3kg shot to finish fifth in her qualifying group and in the top 10 overall.
It is an astonishing achievement for Adele who will now compete against the world’s best from the likes of Russia, USA, Germany and Turkey at around 3.45pm our time. There were 56 athletes in total with 16 going through to the final.
It has been quite a week for Adele who arrived in Ukraine without her kit which got lost en route and arrived 48 hours later.
But it hasn’t deterred her as she prepares to comepete on her greatest stage yet.
