"Kelly Jade Sotherton" is an England/English former heptathlon/heptathlete and 400m Sprint (running)/sprinter. She was the bronze medallist at the 2004 Summer Olympics and was fourth at the 2008 Summer Olympics. She also was a bronze at the 2007 World Championships in Athletics, and was the heptathlon gold medallist at the 2006 Commonwealth Games. In November 2010, she announced her decision to retire from the heptathlon, due to foot and back injuries. After considering "the Rebecca Romero route" she then chose instead to focus on the 400 metres/400 m. Sotherton's funding from UK Athletics was cut in 2010 but in 2011 she returned to heptathlon training.

I haven't performed particularly well and know that, but you have to keep going right to the end.

I have no comment over her at all. I'm looking forward to competing in the hurdles and the long jump and I hope to progress as much as I did last week.

Overall it was a positive day and I'm in good stead for Melbourne.

It's important for us all to know exactly where we stand and what is expected of us. The sport is accountable for our performances and it's only right that we should also be individually accountable too.
