Donna Fraser: Olympic Athlete

She also helped Britain to 4x400m relay bronze in 2005 (and ran in the heats in 2007, picking up another bronze) and performed well after Helsinki over 200m.
World Class Times
Donna Fraser remained in great form with a 200m/400m double at the 2009 UK Indoor Championships with world class times and her 200m title was her first since 1998. Fraser made the European Indoor final in Turin, but her long legs did not cope well with lane two, and she finished sixth in the final, but won silver in the 4x400m relay.
To show her longevity, Fraser won her first major medal at the 1990 World Junior Champs, picking up silver in the 4x100m relay before winning the 1991 European Junior 400m title.
