Island Games: Corrin picks up silver in long jump

Second medal for athlete so far

Manx athlete Regan Corrin won another medal at the Island Games in Orkney last night.

A strong outing in the men's long jump saw him awarded silver, but he couldn't quite reach Faroe Islands Tórur Mortensen's distance of 7.40m with a jump of 7.29m

This follows up the gold he won in the men's high jump earlier in the competition. 

At 18 years old, Corrin says there's no limit to what he can achieve:

He'll next be in action at the men's triple jump on Thursday 17 July, as well as competing in the men's 4x100m relay and 4x400m relay events.
