Jo’s Sport Social: Prince Harry takes a back seat

This week’s Sport Social includes an amusing moment with Prince Harry and a British gymnast, a lovely gesture from a young football fan to a player, and a surfer who says losing his leg to a shark attack is the best thing that ever happened to him. Yes, really. Some people are just super cool.

When Prince Harry isn’t as big a draw as a British gymnast!

You’d hope they’d react like this; they are teenagers! Well done fellas.

Shouldn’t we all have this much fun doing the mundane things in life? ❤️

What? So this kid doesn’t even get a clap at the end of this? Nothing? Jeesh.

I’d love it if this kid becomes a future England player and we can bring out this photo! Love it.

Gymnasts just seem unable to just sit still on their holidays…
