Speaker
Rebecca Adlington
Rebecca Adlington made her Olympic debut in Beijing and went on to win both400m and 800m freestyle events. It saw her become the first woman to take swimming gold for Great Britain in over forty years and the first in a century to secure two wins at a single Games.
After a successful club career Becky joined TeamGB aged just 19 and travelled to China for the 2008 Games. After her sensational double-gold win, during which she broke the World 800m record, she went on to take Commonwealth and World Aquatics 800m gold shortly afterwards. At the London 2012 Games she added to her medal tally with two bronze medals.
After retiring from competition Becky combined a media career with work for charities and schemes to promote swimming and sport in general. Her Swim Stars programme aims to ensure every child in the country is able to swim 25m before starting secondary school, whilst Becky Adlington Training focuses on developing swimming teachers. She is a BBC commentator and pundit covering Olympic, World and European competitions. She has also appeared on TV shows from I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! and 8 Out of 10 Cats to celebrity versions of MasterChef, The Chase and Come Dine With Me.
