Racewalker awarded Sword of Honour

Wed, 01 Aug 2018


A Manx racewalker has been awarded the President's Sword of Honour by the Isle of Man Commonwealth Games Association.

Erika Kelly finished ninth in the women's 20km race walk at the Commonwealth Games at Gold Coast earlier this year, just three years after taking up the sport.

The 25-year-old, who has a genetic eye disease which has left her visually impaired, has been included on the Isle of Man Sport Aid's Tokyo Target programme for the 2020 Olympics.

The sword is presented to the individual or individuals judged to have made an outstanding contribution to the Island's Commonwealth Games team.
