Amy Williams' Olympic gold - one year on

Amy Williams, the golden girl from University of Bath, made hr own piece of history a year ago tomorrow by striking skeleton gold at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, winning Team GB its own medal for the games.

After completing the second half of the 2010/11 Skeleton World Cup season, Amy is now back at University of Bath and in training for her campaign at the next season en route to her goal of achieving another medal at the Sochi Games in 2014.

But the University of Bath Sports Performance graduate isn't taking anything for granted.

"Our sport is getting more and more competitive every year and there are a lot of good young British girls coming through," she said.

"I know I'll have to work at the same level of intensity for the next three years as I did before Vancouver, if not harder.

"It's so scary to think it's a year ago, it's flown by," added Amy, whose Olympic races were held over two days on 18 and 19 February, before she was presented with her gold medal at a ceremony on 20 February and then had crowds lining the streets of Bath to welcome her home.

"There were a lot of people at the Olympics who had won medals," she said. "What I had done really hit me when I saw the welcome back to Bath and the reaction of people there."

An MBE followed and she was also made an Honorary Freeman of the City of Bath, while invitations to the Royal Box at Wimbledon and Royal Ascot followed, as did appearances on the Jonathan Ross Show, Top Gear and A Question of Sport.
