At the 2005 World Championships Nicola won a silver medal, which was Great Britain’s first World Championship medal in over 40 years however in 2009 she eclipsed this, making history by becoming the first British female ever to win the World Championship title.
Prior to competing in Bobsleigh Nicola was a top ranked Heptathlete, representing Great Britain for over eight years at a variety of events at European and World level competitions.
