Wonderful news. I've been following the competition website regularly with my fingers crossed as I was confident that there would be a good outcome. This is a really major achievement. Congratulations Shiori.

Congratulations to her indeed - and to all the medal-winners.  There are some other names in there that I recognise already, including Aaron Smyth, briefly of the Royal Ballet.
