- Kate Shortman and Isabelle Thorpe were named England Programmes Synchronised Swimming Athletes of the Year at the ASA Aquatics Awards 2016.
Kate and Isabelle have performed consistently over the past three years. This year they have taken big strides to demonstrate the strength within Great Britain.
In 2016, their first year as juniors, they achieved 10th place with a score of 76.0 at the Junior Europeans, ahead of the 12th place finish in 2015.
A few weeks later at the Mediterranean Cup, they placed fifth in the final with a score of 79.5. The girls’ combined figure score placed them in third behind Russia and Spain. Individually placing 13th and 19th respectively placed them amongst the top soloists on figure rankings.
This is the first time that GB have had a pair in medal contention at such a prestigious competition
