Medal record
|
Born in South Africa, he represented Great Britain at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.[2]
He represented England and won three silver medals in the 105 kg category, at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[3][4] The three medals were won during an unusual period when three medals were awarded in one category (clean and jerk, snatch and combined) which invariably led to the same athlete winning all three of the same colour medal.[5]
Yule then twice claimed a bronze medal for Scotland at the Commonwealth Games in 2002 and 2006.[1]
Yule was educated at Park House School and then St Batholomew's School in Newbury before attending Brasenose College, University of Oxford where in 1998 he received an MEng degree in Engineering Science.
