Becky Adlington OBE is one of Britain’s most successful female swimmers, with four Olympic medals including double gold from the Beijing 2008 Games. Known for her incredible achievements in the pool and her dedication to promoting swimming across the UK, Becky has become a beloved figure both in and out of sport.
Away from the water, Becky is passionate about raising awareness of coeliac disease, a condition she was diagnosed with later in life. She is a strong advocate for better education and support for those managing a gluten-free lifestyle, working with Coeliac UK, encouraging others to seek testing.
Becky continues to inspire as a broadcaster, author, and founder of “Becky Adlington’s SwimStars” – a learn-to-swim initiative for children. She brings her story of resilience, health, and advocacy to the Allergy & Free From Show, offering insights into life as an elite athlete living with coeliac disease.
