Athletics career

Her personal best put was 17.53 metres, achieved in July 1980 in the Moscow 1980 Summer Olympics.[1] This places her fifth on the British outdoor all-time list, behind Judy Oakes, Myrtle Augee, Meg Ritchie and Venissa Head. It was the British record at the time.[2] She represented England in the shot put event, at the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.[3] Four years later she represented England again in the shot put event, at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.[4][5]

gollark: For example, Alpine and Void.
gollark: Speaking unironically for a moment, there are in fact non-GNU Linux distros, although Arch is not one.
gollark: No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.
gollark: Oh, I have this too.
