A three-time Olympian, British record holder and eleven-time UK Champion, Goldie has dominated the event of javelin and is now one of athletics’ most popular ambassadors. In 2007, this preternaturally talented athlete set a new British record in the javelin at 65.05 m, becoming the first British woman to throw over 65 metres since javelins were redesigned in 1999.
At the Beijing Olympics in 2008 Goldie broke the British record and received a Bronze medal. In the run-up to the London Olympics she confirmed her position as a medal prospect when she broke her own British record at the London Diamond League with an opening throw of 66.17m. As one of the most consistent senior members of the British athletics team and a former team captain, she is admired and respected for the commitment and dedication she has shown to her sport ever since she won her first English Schools’ Championship as a 14-year-old.
Goldie is proud to have recently been re-elected by her peers to serve a second term as a Board member of the British Olympic Association’s Athletes Commission. She is an experienced and sought-after motivational speaker delivering workshops on a Winning Attitude as well as delivering presentations to businesses around resilience and leadership. She has been a key note speaker for the likes of Aviva, Deloitte, O2 and British Airways and enjoys getting the best out of clients with her excellent work as a coach and mentor.
