Luke Robert David Strong (born 7 December 1993) is a British trampoline gymnast. Strong won bronze at the 2014 European Championships.[1]
Strong nearly lost his leg in 2009 when he sustained a severe injury during a training session. Strong has made a full recovery and in the trials for the 2012 London Olympics, he missed out by 0.1 of a point. However, in 2014, Strong became the first British male senior trampoline gymnast to win a medal at a European championships in the last 32 years, winning bronze in Portugal.[2]
In 2009, Strong sustained a serious injury to one of his legs. In a statement to the Liverpool Echo, Strong’s coach, Jay Scouler, said, "Luke’s injury was the worst I’ve ever experienced with one of my athletes. The doctors said they may take his leg off. They were talking about amputation."[4] But Strong made a full recovery and returned to compete in 2010 and won bronze in the British Trampoline Championships. In the beginning of 2015, Strong had another accident, again breaking his leg, but by June 2015 he was fully recovered.[2]
