THE STORY BEHIND THE WOMAN WHO CHANGED THE FACE OF BOXING FOREVER,
OBE NICOLA ADAMS At London 2012, Nicola Adams made history when she
became the first woman ever to win an Olympic Gold medal for
boxing. In Rio 2016, with the nation cheering her on, she did it
all over again. Years of relentless training, fundraising and
determination have seen Nicola battle through injury, prejudice and
defeat to become one of Britain best-loved athletes and an
inspiration to all those who are chasing after a seemingly
impossible dream. From a leisure centre in Leeds to the Olympic
Stadium in Rio, Nicola with her famous smile has become an LGBTQ+
icon and the poster girl for women in sport. This is her story of
grit, talent and the real person behind the smile. Nicola is soon
to be a contestant on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing in the show's
first same-sex pairing. ____________________ WHAT READERS ARE
