Cebuana teacher pens message to Fil-Brit former student and Olympic medalist Jake Jarman

Aside from Carlos Yulo, another gymnast in Jake Jarman is catching the attention of people online as he makes a splash in his debut at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

And his old photos from his younger days in Cebu resurfaced thanks to his former preschool teacher Anne Gallo-Sim, who penned a heartfelt message to the rising Filipino-British gymnast currently suiting up for Great Britain.

"Remember those days in Sage & Cambridge (Lahug) Cebu preschool? Back then, you were always full of energy packed in a petite frame," Gallo-Sim said.

"But your mind and heart were b-i-i-i-g beyond measure. I am so proud of you! Keep up your hard work and achievements!"

Jarman turned heads in the Paris Olympics.

The youthful gymnast, who spent his early education in Cebu, scored 14.933 to capture a bronze medal in the men's floor finals, the same event that Filipino foe Carlos Yulo dominated to win his first gold medal.

Jarman also helped Great Britain to finish fourth in the men's team finals as they collected 255.527 points behind gold medalist Japan and silver and bronze medalists China and USA.

In the vault finals, the 22-year-old Jarman also impressed after tallying 14.933 markers to wind up fourth with Yulo taking the gold medal for his second Olympic title.
