About Bradly
Sinden is best known for his historic win at the 2019 World Championships, where the Doncaster-born fighter landed the title of GB’s first male World Champion.
He initially took up the sport by following in his sister’s footsteps and eventually went on to join the GB Development Programme, where he competed as a junior for a number of years. He eventually graduated and transitioned onto the World Class Performance Programme in Manchester.
Sinden who has been dubbed “Mr Consistent” started making his mark on the junior circuit and took the top spot at the 2015 Junior European Championships. He then continued the momentum by landing his first senior major medal (bronze) at the 2017 World Championships in Muju, Korea.
This was quickly followed by silver success at the World Taekwondo Grand Prix in London where the teenager went head-to-head with reigning Olympic Champion, Ahmad Abughaush of Jordan.
More recently, Sinden claimed a silver medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
60 SECOND INTERVIEW
WHEN DID YOU START TAEKWONDO AND WHY:
My sister started Taekwondo first and when I was old enough to do it, I took up the sport too.
OTHER SPORTS PLAYED:
Quite a lot, I played football, badminton, handball and basketball at school.
AMBITION:
To win the Olympics.
ROLE MODEL/FAVOURITE OTHER SPORTSMAN OR WOMAN:
Sarah Stevenson because she was from Doncaster too. When I was younger, I saw her winning bronze at Beijing (2008) and I thought to myself, that’s what I really want to do.
WHY SHOULD THE PUBLIC WATCH TAEKWONDO IN YOUR OPINION?
When watching the sport, you see athletes doing all these amazing techniques and you think how is that possible? It’s really fun to watch.
IF SOMEONE GAVE YOU £1 MILLION, WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH IT:
I’d probably take my mum on holiday to anywhere that she wants to go! She’s supported me throughout the years so it’d be nice to give something back.
SOMETHING YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT BRADLY SINDEN:
I used to play the tuba in school.
