About Helen Richardson-Walsh MBE

Gold Medalist at Rio 2016 Olympics with GB Women's Hockey Team
First same-sex married couple to win Olympic medals together
Awarded MBE for contributions to hockey
Helen Richardson-Walsh, a renowned midfielder, began her international hockey career for Great Britain (GB) in 1999 at 17, quickly making her Olympic debut in 2000. She played a pivotal role in the GB women's team's success, participating in four Olympics and winning gold in Rio 2016.

Helen's illustrious career includes a Commonwealth bronze, two silvers, a bronze at London 2012, and a European Championship in 2015. Helen and her wife, Kate Richardson-Walsh, also made history as the first same-sex married couple to win Olympic medals together.

Despite facing career-threatening injuries, including back surgeries and ankle procedures, she overcame these challenges and depression, returning to lead the GB team to victory. After nearly 300 international appearances and an MBE award for her contributions to hockey, Helen now plays at club level in the UK.

She is an ambassador for several organisations, holds a psychology degree, and has a master's in Organisational Psychology. In 2021, she joined Tottenham Hotspur Women as a Performance Psychologist.
