The Shape I'm In: Gina Akpe-Moses

Gina Akpe-Moses was born in 1999 in Nigeria but moved with her family to Dundalk when she was three years old, writes Arlene Harris.

Always a sporty child, the middle daughter of three joined St Gerard’s Athletics Club when she was aged eight and in the past decade has gone from strength to strength.

So much so that in July 2017, the Louth woman won the European Athletics Championship under 20s 100m title — making history for Ireland with the country’s first sprint medal in the Junior and Under 23s ranks.
