DENHOLME weightlifter Rebekah Tiler has arrived in Rio ahead of her Olympics debut next week.
The teenager, one of Great Britain's youngest athletes at the age of just 17, tweeted a picture of herself with team-mate Sonny Webster at the Olympic village.
The former Bingley Grammar School pupil, who has been preparing at Team GB's training camp in Belo Horizonte, is due to compete in the women's 69kg category next Wednesday.
Tiler, who broke two British records in winning the national title earlier in the summer, is targeting a place in the top ten.
