Tessa recently welcomed some local children to the House of Commons following their victory in the National Championships for the Modern Pentathlon.

Khari, Jack, Omari and Matthew joined Tessa with their coach, Drew Patterson who is based in West Norwood.

Tessa asked the youngsters about their achievements and answered their questions about her own interest in sport and her position as Olympics Minister.

Tessa commented: "It is so inspiring to meet young people who are already achieving such great things. The Olympics is inspiring many young people to strive even harder to achieve their dream of competing in the greatest sporting occasion on the planet when it comes to London in 2012".
