“Well-behaved women seldom make history” 3xOlympic Medalist | Arsenal | CEO of British Elite Athletes Assoc | ALL VIEWS MY OWN | Enquiries: [email protected]
Joined April 2009
This would have been the moment I knew I had won a medal. Instead looking on, knowing 2 athletes ahead of me cheated their way to Olympic medals. Will never get those few moments back, ever.

Can’t fathom the hate that someone can have over a dislike of pundits in football . what’s even more disturbing is the following that he has . .

Apparently to some .I’m misleading .As there was no context of being dark, I was alone, in the gym car park. Also I wasn’t scared. I was just aware. Is it ever ok to just shout out to someone you don’t know and expect them to have a conversation with you? . I don’t think so.

Leaving the gym .Man asks . “are you that athlete?” .I say “no”.Man says “are you that ex athlete?”.I say “yes” I keep walking to my car . Man exclaims why am I walking away and not talking to him .I get in my car and leave . Am I rude ?.

Don’t be sorry…. I’m not. I’m very honoured that you have spent the time to find out I’ve won bronze medals. That’s a win …😂😂.
Sorry, Kelly. I know you’re a serial Bronzer but I only celebrate Gold medals.

I do not understand why winning for some isn’t enough and you still get criticised for being a World Champion. Stop the criticism, celebrate the win. You can only beat who is there!.

But then don’t celebrate anything other than gold … ok piers fully behind @TeamGB 🙄.
a) I believe everything I say until or if new facts change my mind. b) I'm 100% behind our @TeamGB athletes in Tokyo, just feel for them that the Olympics feels pointless this year for reasons beyond their control.

Having your body retire you before your mind is extremely hard in professional sport. It’s because it is not your choice and that’s heartbreaking. #AndyMurray #iknow.

A forced fake apology doesn’t cut it . apologising for the back lash or genuinely insulting a mourning family?.
My tweet yesterday was ill timed at a time when the royal family, and many around the world were grieving for the Queen. I apologise for any offence caused to those mourning The Queen.
