Dan Davies

My name is Daniel Davies.  I train at Strength Academy Wales, Haverfordwest, I am a student at Haverfordwest High VC and am currently in year 8. I first began to train through a school club linked to Strength Academy Wales and one of my first competitions was at Gemau Cymru. I knew then that weightlifting was something that I really enjoyed, especially competing at a great venue at Sport Wales and having lots of support from the coaches and officials.

I feel very fortunate for the opportunities I have had in weightlifting, such as getting to compete in my first competition in 2018 at the Junior Battle in Austria. Being a part of the Welsh talent squad has allowed be to meet some great people and I have already made lots of friends through Weightlifting in Wales. I am honoured to be representing our sport in Gemau Cymru and am very excited to compete.
