Aviva Athletics - Our Athletes

Jessica Ennis

When Jessica Ennis was 10, her life changed. It was 1996 and the schools were shut for summer. Her hometown of Sheffield was playing host to an Aviva Startrack scheme and Jessica decided to take part. She hasn’t looked back since.

Danny Nobbs

As the British Record holder in his class and ranked No.1 in the world this season, Paralympic shot putter Danny Nobbs is well on course to realise his ultimate dream of a gold medal at London 2012.

Christine Ohuruogo

Chrissy O was instrumental in launching the Aviva Athletics Academy in 2009. As an Olympian, she is an inspiration to children of all abilities and levels. She puts her Olympic success down to the support of her large family and we are proud to have her in the Aviva family.

Darren Campbell

Darren Campbell is unquestionably one of Britain’s most successful and well known male sprinters. During an international career spanning over a decade Darren won individual medals at all of the Major Championships; European and World Championships, Commonwealth and Olympic Games.

Sally Gunnell

Sally Gunnell has been involved with Aviva since we began our partnership with British Athletics. She's has been involved in many of our schemes both in the community and in the classroom. As a mother of three, she has been particularly involved in the Aviva Athletics Academy programmes to encourage kids to be healthy and active.

Meet our athletes

There's more to our athletes in the Aviva GB&NI Team than just what you see on the track or in the field. During the Aviva preparation camp in Ulsan - South Korea, we took some time to find out what makes our talented competitors tick and learn a little more about them as they prepare to take on the world's best.
