Kelly Holmes
Kelly Holmes (1970 - present) is a retired British middle distance athlete who specialised in the 800 metres and 1500 metres events and won the Olympic gold medal for both at the Summer Olympics in Athens in 2004. She set British records in numerous events and still holds the records over the 600, 800, 1000, and 1500 metres distances. She retired from athletics in 2005.
Fun fact: When she was a child, Kelly's hero was Sebastian Coe and she competed in middle distance events in her youth and during her time in the British Army. In 2005 the Queen awarded her a very high honour which means that we now call her Dame Kelly Holmes.
"“When you cross the line, it is such a wonderful feeling it's hard to describe.”
