Biography >
Sophie started competing at the age of 13 and could never decide which event she liked the best, so took up combined events.
She enjoyed the variation the event brings and the two days you spend competing with the same group of people.
Hurdles became Sophie’s best event outside the heptathlon which she now train mostly for.
