GB Taekwondo Athlete

Jade Jones MBE

Two-time Olympic gold medallist Jade Jones is seeking her third successive gold in the -57kg category this summer, following triumphs at London 2012 and Rio de Janeiro 2016.

Born in North Wales in 1993, Jade Jones was introduced to taekwando by her Grandfather as a means on self-defence when she was just 8 years old. Falling in love with the sport, Jade proved to be a rare and natural talent. By the time she left school at 16 to take up taekwondo full time, she was ranked the UK’s number 1 junior athlete and other accolades were quick to follow.

Competing for Great Britain at the Youth Olympics in Singapore, Jade claimed a major victory with Team GB’s first ever taekwondo Gold medal; an achievement that saw her named BBC Wales Junior Sportswoman of the Year.  Over the next few years, a steady stream of international medals followed as she began to establish herself as one of the world’s elite taekwondo fighters.

England and Bath Netball Player

Eboni Usoro-Brown

Eboni Usoro-Brown is one of the most decorated and well-known members of the Vitality Roses. The defender has been enjoying a long and prosperous career on court for her country ever since her debut against Malawi in 2008.

She made her debut with the club as a teenager during the 2006/07 season and won four VNSL titles in Bath before spending four years playing professionally in Australia from 2011 to 2015. One of Eboni’s greatest achievements was being a part of the England side that made history by winning gold at the Gold Coast in the 2018 Commonwealth Games against home favourite Australia.

In August 2020, Eboni became mum to daughter Savannah and uses her role as a mother to inspire other female athletes, with her return to Team Bath Netball for the 2021 Vitality Netball Superleague season.  Eboni says she would like athletes to see that starting a family and playing elite sport is not an either-or choice.

GB Taekwondo Athlete

Bianca Walkden

Bianca Walkden has earned an impressive medal tally over the years. She is best known for being the first GB Taekwondo athlete to take the World Championships crown for the third time. Liverpool-born Bianca started her Taekwondo journey at age eleven when she attended a local club with one of her friends. Her sporting career began at fifteen when she gained a bronze medal at the Junior European Championships, which was swiftly followed by a remarkable silver at the Junior World Championships the very next year.

Bianca has continued to dominate her division and Team GB listed her as one of their official Tokyo 2020 ‘Ones to Watch’. Walkden’s training has been largely unaffected by the pandemic as she’s locked down in Manchester with two-time Olympic champion Jade Jones and boyfriend of 14 years – and three-time European king – Aaron Cook. Walkden says: “I think I’ve had it luckier than normal in lockdown – I was locked down with a double Olympic champion and a triple European champion, so had some pretty good training partners.
