Kelly Holmes Biography
Middle-distance runner who recovered from injury to claim double Olympic gold at the age of 34.
FIGHTING SPIRIT
Although she showed early promise as a runner, Kelly Holmes gave up the sport to join the army at the age of 18 and become British army judo champion. She returned to competitive athletics after watching the 1992 Barcelona Games on television.
INJURY PROBLEMS
Holmes' career was plagued by injuries. Barely recovered from a stress fracture, she placed only fourth in the 800m at the 1996 Atlanta Games. In 2000, a ruptured calf left her only six weeks to train for the Sydney Games. Still, she managed to win a bronze medal in the 800m and placed seventh in the 1,500m.
THE PERFECT YEAR
She arrived at the 2004 Athens Games in perfect shape. In the 800m final, Holmes moved past defending champion Maria Mutola and held off her other rivals. The finish was so close that Holmes didn’t know she’d won – she did so by five hundredths of a second. Five nights later, in the final of the 1,500m, Holmes burst into the lead around the final turn and earned her second gold.
AN ATHLETICS HERO
At 34, she was the oldest woman to win either the 800m or the 1,500m, let alone both of them. Kelly Holmes continues to represent Great Britain’s sporting legacy abroad and campaigns for children’s sport. She founded the Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust in 2008 to support young people and is a passionate advocate for mental health, happiness, and wellness. Holmes has expanded her career into entrepreneurship, developing Double Gold Enterprises to market health and fitness products. She has also authored three books: "Just Go for It," "Get Your Kids Fit," and "Black, White and Gold."
AMBASSADORIAL AND LEADERSHIP ROLES
Holmes holds ambassadorial positions for TeamGB and served as a London 2012 sponsor for BT. She is the President of Commonwealth Games England and actively participated in the Opening Ceremony for the London 2012 Olympic Games. Looking forward to continuing her role at Glasgow 2014, Holmes remains a prominent figure in promoting sports achievements and inspirations. Through her public speaking, she shares her journey in overcoming adversity, along with insights into entrepreneurship and her experiences as a decorated female athlete.
