A Harrogate man who turned from talented musician to world kettlebell champion has done it again.

Since Jonathan Skinner became a world championship winner for England at the World Kettlebell competition in 2022, a huge amount of hard work has seen him go from strength-to-strength.

And he has come back with two more world titles – the 40kg One Arm Jerk 157 reps and the 32kg Half Marathon (30mins) One Arm Jerk 456reps.
