Montell is a former Sprinter for Great Britain and the current leading Brakewoman for the Great Britain Bobsleigh Team.
After two decades of excelling in athletics at a world-class level, Montell transitioned out of the sport at the age of 31 and swiftly proved her worth in a new arena. Bagging a Europe Gold for GB and clinching a spot in the top 10 rankings globally, she became a valuable addition.
Her debut in bobsleigh for GB happened in mid-January 2017, mere days after her first encounter with a sled on the ice. A remarkable top-10 finish marked her World Cup debut, followed by a seventh-place finish in St. Moritz and an impressive Europa Cup victory by the month’s end. This triumph marked GB’s first EC gold in seven years, occurring just a fortnight after Montell’s debut on the international stage.
Despite undergoing surgery for a hamstring injury just six months prior, Montell was selected as the reserve athlete for the 2018 Games in PyeongChang, adding a Winter Olympic involvement to her summer appearances. Her achievements soared further with a career-high fourth-place finish in the World Cup race in Altenberg in January 2019, and she now boasts two World Championship appearances.
Montell was absolutely brilliant in the lead up to the event and at the event itself. Nothing was too much trouble and she inspired not only the young people but the staff and parents too. Montell was extremely popular with the young people and engaged with them brilliantly, signing loads of autographs and having pictures taken. She was very patient and left no requests for autographs or pictures unanswered, which is a credit to her especially as she had another engagement to get to after ours.
