‘This book cracks along at a bracing pace ... Holmes is a real-life Cinderella’ Mail on Sunday
‘Readers will enjoy the access into her childhood and her years in the Army’ The Times
‘This year’s must-have story of a national heroine’ Sunday Sport
For Kelly Holmes, winning double gold at the 2004 Olympics was more than just fulfilling an ambition. It was reward for a lifetime of relentless dedication to sport and for overcoming a secret battle with pain and self-doubt.
In her remarkable and frank autobiography, Kelly opens up about her experiences growing up as a mixed race child, being a woman in the Army and the extreme pressure behind the scenes of her athletics career. What emotions boil behind the strong façade? How did she cope with the immense pressures and setbacks which threatened to end her Olympic dreams, and how did it feel to realise them in the end?
Now fully updated including Kelly’s new goal to help Britain’s children get fit and to raise the standards of sports in our schools, as well as her hopes and excitement about the London Olympics in 2012, Black, White and Gold is the inspirational story of a woman who would give anything to realise her dreams.
