TEENAGERS from Summer Uni projects all over London converged on the East End to compete in a gruelling athletics challenge.
The contests included tug'o'war, basketball, high jump as well as the equally athletic 'welly wanging' and egg-and-spoon race!
They battled for a place on the podium at Mile End stadium. All the winners left with gold medals, while losers got a pat on the back for their efforts.
