Many kind thanks for posting this. Sonia is alive and well and still looks very fit. I live fairly close by to her and often see her always smiling and appears very happy. She was a great and classy athlete and a classy women. It’s incredible that she gained her first full international age14 but she went on to become 2 nd ranked 100 m sprinter in the world to an East German drug cheat and many potential medals were stolen from her and from other British girls by drug cheats from the eastern block countries. She has a son who was also a very promising sprinter but he became a professional footballer. This was agreat video and bought back many memories.
Thanks for posting this - I was a fan of Sonia back in her running days. Sadly her athletics career ended only two years after this revised edit aired.
Mummygiraffe do you have access to part one of this scene series discussing Sonia’s early athletics career. Believe there were two parts. The above is part 2 ?
@@DaveEdwards-k1y Hi. Fraid not chum. Found this completely by chance on an N1700 tape a few years back no no sign of any related stuff. There’s always hope it’ll turn up at some point tho…..❤️💙💚
