Sharron Davies | Speaker Biography

Former Olympian Swimmer
BBC Sports Commentator
Event host and compere

Sharron Davies is known for her extensive sportswoman and television personality career. She first gained recognition as a 13-year-old Olympian at the 1976 Montreal Games. By 14, she had won two European Bronze medals and, in 1978, secured Commonwealth gold medals in both the 200m and 400m Individual Medley events. Sharron earned a silver medal at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, competing against Petra Schneider, who later admitted to doping.

After briefly retiring at 18 to pursue a media career, Sharron returned to competitive swimming in 1989, reclaiming her national 200m title. As British Commonwealth Games squad captain in 1990, she won silver and bronze medals. Over her three-decade career, she set 200 British records, some lasting for 28 years, and was named British Press Sportswoman of the Year twice.

Sharron retired from competition in 1994 and became a familiar face on television, covering major events, including multiple Olympic Games. She has presented shows like The Big Breakfast and co-hosted Superstars, while also appearing in various popular programmes. Her versatility extends to writing, with several books published, including an autobiography and a learn-to-swim guide.

In addition to her media work, Sharron is passionate about fitness and well-being, recently launching her online fitness programme. She is a devoted mother to three children and a grandmother, and she actively supports various charities, including Disabled Sport England and The Sports Aid Foundation. Sharron co-launched Swim For Life with Princess Diana, raising millions for various causes. Her commitment to charity and community service remains a significant part of her life.
