| Introduction | Bubbly runner, 28, passionate about athletics and journalism. Writes for the IAAF, British Athletics and European Athletics as a feature writer and event reporter. Most recently, I have attended my first World Indoor Champs (reporting for the IAAF), World Youth Championships (reporting for the IAAF), European Team Championships (doing flash-quotes for the organisers), Diamond League abroad (Oslo - reporting for the organisers), World cross-country Championships (reporting for the IAAF) and European indoor Championships (doing flash-quotes for the organisers). Last summer also, I attended my first Olympic Games, fulfilling a life-long dream. In London, I worked for the organisers - LOCOG - as an athletics reporter on their news wire service for seven-weeks from the main press centre in the Olympic Park and then inside the Olympic stadium. In summer 2014, I hope to attend the IAAF World Junior Champs and will be working for the organisers of the European Champs - working in flash-quotes. I'll also be attending the Oslo Diamond League and hope to visit many more...! |
