Heather Fell is one of Britain’s top modern pentathletes, a sport contrived of 5 individual events which requires great skill, enthusiasm and focus. Heather has been successful on both the World and European stages and is looking forward to continued success at the 2012 London Olympics where she is a strong contender for a medal.

After initial success at junior level, including two Gold and one Silver medal in the 2003 World Junior Championships in Athens, Heather nearly gave up the sport she loved in 2006 when, due to a series of shin splint injuries, her funding was cut by UK Sport.

Heather had to wait until 2007 to get her first major tournament medal, with Bronze in Moscow and an individual Silver medal at the 2007 European Championships in Riga, reaching the Olympic qualifying standard in doing so. She also won a Gold medal as part of the relay team, with Katy Livingston and Georgina Harland.

2008 saw Heather record perhaps her most successful medal haul to date with a Gold at the World Cup and a Silver at the Olympics in Beijing where Heather was catapulted into the public eye. Another Silver medal at the 2010 World Championships has set Heather up with a great chance to claim a second Olympic medal at the London 2012 Games, something she is certainly capable of doing.

Hoping to pursue a career in broadcasting after she retires, Heather occasionally works for BBC South West as a commentator. She also writes for a monthly column for the Tavistock Times Gazette about her life on and off the track.

Heather is extremely articulate with a plethora of stories detailing her triumph over adversity and is known as being very strong minded and having a bubbly and loquacious personality. She is popular with the media and highly sought after on the corporate speaking circuit. Heather is a role model for both current and emerging athletes and an ideal ambassador for any business wishing to work with her. Heather plans to go one step further in front of her home crowd at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
