Due to the repetitive nature of jumping and throwing events, she started having ankle problems. (thebbsa.co.uk)
Required surgery, but the surgery left her with nerve damage. “I had a little bit of bone removed in my ankle which should have been quite straight forward, but something in the surgery didn't go quite right. I ended up with a severed nerve in my foot, so nerve damage and I haven't been able to feel my foot for around two-three years now. I’ve just had to manage training and adapt everything, but we’ve figured out what I can tolerate and I’m now in a good place.” (wsportsalliance.com, 18 Nov 2021)
Was forced to give up heptathlon after having three ankle operations. (saddind.co.uk, 6 Mar 2018)
2015
Watching Lizzy Yarnold (GBR) win gold in skeleton at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, she was inspired to join the Power2Podium training programme after seeing an advertisement on television. Through the Power2Podium talent identification programme, she entered the British Skeleton programme and fell in love with the speed. "Sliding a skeleton track is crazy. It's such a huge thrill and you get a massive adrenaline rush when you slide so it can be hard to calm yourself down and concentrate but it's something you get used to the more you do it."
