She will go down in the history books
This is the director of a Leeds dance school, dubbed the Black Tulip, who made history by becoming the first black gymnast to compete at an Olympic Games for Great Britain.
She told British Gymnastics: “At my peak, I was training sometimes twice a day, 6/7 days a week a minimum of 4.5 hours a day, plus conditioning. I particularly enjoyed competing on floor, because I loved to dance. On the vault, I was able to fly twisting and somersaulting through the air from a height.
Kathy, who was inspired by Olga Korbut and Nadia Comaneci, enjoyed the sport instantly and thanks to support from her teachers and coaches, she had success at both interschool and regional competitions.
