One of Britain’s most successful and celebrated female athletes, Kelly Holmes won Gold in both the 800 and 1500 metre event at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. Having entered sport after a successful career in the army, her dedication and drive were key to her Olympic victory, making her a role model to sportspeople of all ages and abilities and earning her a Damehood in the 2005 New Year’s Honours List. Now retired, she is involved with a number of charities and is a sought after speaker and awards host.
