Shelley Rudman (born 23 March 1981) is a British skeleton bobsledder, the 2013 world champion in that event, an Olympic silver medal at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in skeleton (the only medal for Great Britain at the Games) and a former World Cup and European champion. Originally from Pewsey, Wiltshire, Rudman now lives in Sheffield, England. == Early career == She took up the sport of skeleton after a university friend and GB skeleton athlete Greg Kirk introduced her to the sport in October 2002 at the University of Bath push track. Rudman went for the GB skeleton development team selection at the University of Bath which would allow her to join a funded programme, but wasn't successful in making the team. At the time Rudman was working full-time at the ACS International Schools, Cobham, Surrey and also in her third year of a BSc Degree course at St Mary's College, Twickenham. She decided to apply for an Ice school in Norway run by the British military to pursue the sport and realise her dream of being selected for Great Britain by funding herself around tracks in Europe along with 2 other British servicemen. A year later in 2003, she qualified for the World Junior Championships and where she finished in 10th position and highest-ranked British female. In 2004 she won the Europa Cup in Igls, Austria. In 2005 she won gold in the World University Games. Since 2006, Rudman has been self-coaching and learning the tracks herself throughout the World Cup seasons. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shelley Rudman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
