Dame Kelly Holmes

A legendary female British Olympian who really doesn’t need much of an introduction, Dame Kelly Holmes once set the British records in the 600m, 800m, and 1,000m – achievements that have only recently been surpassed.

She is an Olympic, World, Commonwealth, and European multi-medallist. After winning gold in the 800m and 1,500m at the 2004 Athens Olympics, she won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, European Athlete of the Year, World Athlete of the Year, and was honoured with a Damehood by the late Queen Elizabeth II.

During Pride Month in 2022, Kelly shared her “relief at coming out as gay”.

She is one of the most popular and sought-after speakers on the circuit, with speaking topics including athletics and mental health. Dame Kelly Holmes has motivated audiences across the world.
