Kelly Holmes starting running when she was 12 years old after being encouraged by her P.E teacher. 22 Years later she made history by winning double gold at the 2004 Olympics. She won both the 800m and 1500m.

In the same year she was named BBC's sports personality of the year and went on to be honoured with a dame-hood by the queen in 2005.

Along with being director of her own company 'Double Gold Enterprises Ltd', she is the National School Sports Champion and founded 'The Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust'.

And if that wasn't enough, our very own super-woman founded 'On Camp With Kelly' where she assists in preparing potential International middle distance junior female runners.
