Re: Fave Female Athletes/Gymnast's?
There was a female Scottish athlete called Lee McConnell that I managed to watch her doing a New Year message when I switched over to BBC Two Scotland on my Sky Digibox on New Year's Day 2011 - she was doing the annual Resolutions message for BBC Scotland while other parts of the UK got Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams doing his New Year message that I saw earlier on BBC One. Her appearance on screen was fantastic!
I wrote to the Scottish Athletics Association soon afterwards, saying that I was huge fan of McConnell and asked for an agents' address so that I could send her a picture to be autographed. They responded, my picture went in the post and came back signed a couple of weeks later - I bet that she was surprised that I was watching BBC Two Scotland as far south as the East Midlands as well!
I am now in my 40s (just in case anyone asks).
