The Isle of Man is preparing to send more than 150 athletes to compete in the 2025 Island Games in Orkney on July 12.
The Manx team will be the third largest in the competition, known as the "Olympics for Islands".
It will be the first time the Scottish archipelago has hosted the event of around 2,000 sportspeople, as well as being the smallest member by population to ever do so.
The international contest will be coming to Manx shores in 2029, when it's our turn to host.
