Amy Williams

What grabs me about Amy Williams is the sheer nerve the sport demands. Hurtling down an icy chute face-first at racing speeds is not for the faint-hearted, and she did it well enough to win Britain a Winter Olympic gold in 2010. I admire that she discovered skeleton almost by accident on a push-start track at Bath, then committed fully. Her smooth pivot into television presenting after retiring shows a personality that can both master fear and talk warmly about it. To me she embodies a quietly fierce kind of grit, and the MBE feels entirely earned.
