Wendy Sly
One of the great forerunners of British middle and long-distance running, Wendy Sly won the Olympic Silver medal in the 3000 metres at the 1984 Los Angeles games.
Wendy was one of the world's leading middle distance runners on the track in the 1980s, as well as being a top performer in distance events on the road. In January 1983 she ran the fastest ever mile by a British woman.
The highlight of her career was the Olympic Silver in Los Angeles.
The dramatic race was one which went down in history after the famous incident when Mary Decker collided with the barefoot Zola Budd, the South African-born athlete who was competing for Britain.
Wendy continues to be involved in British athletics, mentoring some of the most talented young athletes in the country and helping them to develop to the stars of the future.
"I'm so proud to be an ambassador for Premier Sport. Premier offers children the opportunity to take part in a wide range of sports activities during and after school.
It's great to see children developing a love of sport, learning key skills from trained professionals. It could play a big part in their future well being."
