Dame Kelly Holmes
Kelly Holmes is best known for her achievements as an athlete,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], winning 12 major medals at Commonwealth, European, World and Olympic gatherings, including a famous 800/1500m Olympic double at Athens in 2004. However, her passion for sport did not stop when she hung up her shoes in 2005, for she is now championing sport for girls.
Young StarKelly Holmes was born on 19 April,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 1970, in Pembury,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Kent, to a British West Indian father,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Constantine Holmes and a British mother, Pamela Norman. Her parents split up when she was a child and Holmes grew up on a council estate in Hildenborough with her mother and step father,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Michael Norris, alongside three brothers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Kevin,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Stuart and Danny, and two sisters, Lisa and Penny. Norman later recalled to the Guardian newspaper that, even as a child,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Holmes despised losing.
It was a bit of a pain living with her sometimes. Her teacher Debbie Page was a great advocate of sport and a great inspiration to the young Holmes. She was the fastest child in the school and when she came second in a school cross-country challenge it was Page who inspired her to focus on athletics. Holmes also tried out other activities such as ballet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], gymnastics and martial arts, which she particularly enjoyed, but it was athletics that outshone the rest. At the age of 12 she joined Tonbridge Athletic Club,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and with help from her mentor David Arnold became 1500m English Schools Junior Champion in 1983 and then Senior Champion in 1987 at the same distance:
It was clear from the start that she had a tremendous talent. She was hugely determined to win from the very beginning and what you saw on Monday night was exactly what she showed when she was young. Although being a lorry driver wasn't exactly what Holmes had hoped to be in the army, she gained skills that she believes stood her in good stead for being a runner in later life: discipline, respect for herself and others, and physical strength and focus. Just a year later she won 1500m gold at the Commonwealth Games in Victoria, followed by silver at the European Championships in Helsinki. In 1995 she won further medals,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a silver in the 1500m and bronze in the 800m at the World Championships in Gothenburg. Sally Gunnell,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a gold medallist and commentator who worked alongside Holmes said:
Kelly was a great person to have around the team. She wasn't one of those who was locked in their room reading a book. She also had this huge determination to win despite the numerous injuries she suffered. She suffered a stress fracture in the 800m race at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996, leaving her in fourth place. A lot of athletes are happy just to run good times and go through the motions. Kelly is not like that. That same year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she was awarded the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award and was made a Dame of the British Empire by the Queen.
Today, Holmes leads an active life inspiring children, particularly girls,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to lead active lives,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], by passing on her passion for sport. An ambassador in the role of National School Sports Champion, she aims to increase the number of teenage girls taking part in sport at school. She is also continuing her successful initiative On Camp With Kelly, which was set up to help budding athletes of the future, as well as other initiatives including Believe to Achieve With Kelly, Team B and the DKH Legacy Trust.
