The girls, all participants in the Toplink, programme got a chance to enter into a Question & Answer session with Dame Kelly, but she turned the tables as she directed questions to them, asking them about their favourite sports and what they do in school!  Dame Kelly asked every girl her name and showed a genuine interest in what the girls had to say.  Kelly Homes is the School Sports Champion and it showed in her attitude to the young people she met that day.  What a great role model we have in Kelly Holmes; not only is she a fabulous ambassador for women in sport but she is also, pure and simply, a really nice person.
