MiniBio

The Glaswegian runner has made a name for herself in the world of athletics, particularly in long jump, high jump, and heptathlon events. Her talent and dedication were on full display in 2022 when she secured two national titles across consecutive weekends, showcasing her remarkable form. Currently, she is a proud member of the French National Institute for Sport, a role that complements her athletic pursuits.

Before she rose to prominence in the sports world, she pursued academics with the same determination, graduating with a degree in law. However, her athletic career faced a significant setback in 2018 when she suffered a stress fracture. This injury, compounded by the global pandemic, kept her out of competition for nearly four years. Despite these challenges, she made a strong return to the sport in 2022, competing in the DNA Athletic’s event in February in the long jump category.

Off the track, her personal life has been equally eventful. She has been in a long-term relationship with Rugby Union player Finn Russell since 2017. The couple welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Charlie, in November 2022. Together, they also share their home with a beloved fluffy brown dog who is often featured on her Instagram.

Family plays a big role in her life, and her loved ones frequently appear on her social media. Her sister, Anna, along with her mother Denise and father Charles, have all made appearances on her Instagram, offering glimpses into her personal world beyond athletics.

Trivia

She also sees herself as a model. She’s 5 years younger than her partner, Finn, which adds an interesting dynamic to their relationship. Her Instagram page, which she updates regularly, has managed to attract around 20,000 followers who enjoy her content. She and Finn currently live in Paris, a city that serves as a great base for their many adventures. As much as they enjoy being in Paris, they also share a deep love for traveling together and exploring new places. On her Instagram, she often posts pictures and stories that highlight the special moments in her life, including the many trips she takes with Finn and other personal experiences that reflect her lifestyle.
