WiSP: Jenna Downing; Inline Skating

This week’s Athlete Profile focuses on British Inline Skater Jenna Downing who has been British Champion ten times as well as an X-Games silver medalist and the 2008 LG Action Sports World Champion. A graduate of law from Sheffield University Jenna has channelled much of her time towards leadership incentive programs, teaching children the value of sport in life as well as encouraging them to participate in the sport that has shaped her life since she turned pro at the age of 12. Jenna is the quintessential role model and among her many accolades she has won the 2004 Sporting Ambassador Award and 2005 UK Freesports Athlete of the Year Award. She was instrumental in founding the Inline Skating Academy for at-risk girls and has ambitions to take this program to a wider audience.
