Triple threat

Here are three names you won’t forget: Romeo, Venus and Angel Romaeo.

The siblings, aged between 10 and 12, are part of a talented sporting family from Penarth in South Wales.

Older brother Romeo, 12, is an up-and-coming boxing star – so good, he’s already being compared to the great Joe Calzaghe.

Meanwhile, sisters Venus and Angel are both British Gymnastics champions in their respective age groups.

Venus, 11, has been chosen to feature in a BBC documentary series about young athletes aiming for the 2012 Games.

Her little sister Angel, 10, will be too young to compete in London but is looking good for 2016 after dominating the national championships in November.
