Olympic medals: Bronze, 2004 Athens

British cutie Kelly Sotherton was a surprise Bronze medalist at the 2004 Athens Games, but she has built on her performance since then. She won a gold medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games and then added a bronze at the 2007 World Championships.

Kelly Sotherton likes to promote her sport, which is why she’ll be stripping down to the bare minimums to do some photos this summer. Needless to say, she’s quickly gaining fans.

After her closest rival retired, Kelly Sotherton is the favorite to win gold in Beijing.
