.......Dame Kelly Holmes who has announced her retirement today.

 

I know this is a footie forum but this individual could teach many professional footballers about overcoming abstacles to become the best in the world. Kelly has overcome the heartbreak of many injuries that have scuppoered her chances at major championships but finally came good in Athens.

 

Enjoy your retirement Kelly. You deserve it!

Kelly is a true pro and worked exceptionally hard for what she achieved . She and paula ratcliffe I fear will not be replaced for quite a time. By the way whats an "ABSTACLE" ? is it an injury ?

I thought she ran only flat races rather than over hurdles!
