BILLERICAY trampolinist Joshua Newman admitted he had to pinch himself after returning home from the Australian Youth Olympic Festival clutching gold.
The 14-year-old had to wait until the penultimate day of the Festival to get his adventure at Sydney's Olympic Park off the ground but it was a shaky start.
Newman looked on course for an individual medal only to fall off the trampoline in the final, meaning he finished off the podium in tenth.
But just hours later the Billericay School pupil was back in action, this time with compatriot Harry Newbold-Cozens in the synchronised event.
