THE hard work of an eight-year-old from Ipswich has earned her a dream Olympic experience.

Gabby Mann entered a nationwide McDonald’s Mascothon competition where she had to log her sporting activities online to gain points.

Gabby is one lucky youngster among 100 others who will be given five star treatment during a three-day, all expenses paid trip to the London 2012 Olympics.

“I am so excited.

“I really love sport and my favourite is running,” Gabby said.

While in London, she’ll also be taking part in a special medal ceremony to experience what it feels like to be a winning athlete.
