Jade Lally

Jade Louise Lally (born 30 March 1987) is a British track and field athlete.

Born in Tooting, Lally grew up on Phipps Bridge Estate and attended Bishopsford Community High School.

[3] This began her interest in the sport and led to her joining her first club, Hercules Wimbledon AC, where she took up discus throwing.

She was overlooked for selection to go to what would have been a home Olympics despite achieving two B standard qualifying marks and finishing in the top two at the British Championships.

[20][21][22] After winning her fourth British and English Championship titles in 2015,[23][24] Lally broke the English discus record with a throw of 64.22 metres at the Auckland Track Challenge on 25 February 2016,[25][26] then improved it to 65.10 metres at the New South Wales Championships on 27 February 2016.
