Olympic silver medallist takes a break in Marbella

BRITAIN’S London 2012 poster boy has planned a holiday in Marbella following an impressive performance at the Olympics.  

Louis Smith, 23, won silver in the individual pommel horse and a historic bronze as captain of the artistic gymnastics team – the first podium medal for a British gymnastics team in 100 years.

Now he is heading to Marbella for a well-earned break.

“We’re going to Marbella – the whole team and some of my mates – to sightsee and unwind,” the Olympian said.

“I’m not the kind of guy to go out and abuse the fame – but we’ll let our hair down, have a good party in Marbella then come back and go from there.”
