Timeline

1982

Katherine Dinah "Goldie" Sayers (born 16 July 1982) is a British former javelin thrower, who won a bronze medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics.

She was born in Newmarket, Suffolk, England.

2001

Sayers first came to prominence when setting national junior records and winning national titles, in 2001.

Sayers also served as the captain of Great Britain's women's under 20 team, this season.

The following season, Sayers finished in sixth place at the Commonwealth Games.

2003

From 2003 to 2007, Sayers won five consecutive national titles but had limited success at major championships, failing to make the final at her first Olympics in 2004 and finishing twelfth at both the 2005 World Championships and 2006 European Championships but she did finish fifth at the 2006 Commonwealth Games.

2005

Sayers' father, Pete Sayers, who died in 2005, was a bluegrass musician and the first Englishman to appear at the Grand Ole Opry.

2007

On 20 May 2007, Sayers set a new British record in the javelin at, thus becoming the first British woman to throw over 65 metres since javelins were redesigned in 1999.

Sayers set the record when competing for her university, Loughborough, at the Loughborough International match.

She cemented this achievement at the Norwich Union Glasgow Grand Prix on 3 June 2007 where she beat a top-class international field in rainy conditions with a throw of 63.59 m. Defeated rivals included European champion and Olympic silver medallist Steffi Nerius and world champion Barbora Špotáková.

Sayers was educated at Fairstead House School, Newmarket, and at The King's School, Ely.

She played hockey, netball and tennis at county level, and was an under 11 national table tennis champion.

The early 2007 season boded well for Sayers, setting two UK records and defeating high-class rivals, such as Germany's European champion Steffi Nerius and the Czech Republic's Barbora Špotáková, who went on to win the world title that season, at a championship where Sayers finished 18th in qualifying, with her worst result of the season: 57.23 m.

2008

On 15 March 2008 Sayers won the European Cup of Winter Throwing title in Split, Croatia, with a throw of 63.65 m.

Sayers originally finished fourth at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, setting a new British record of 65.75 m. However in 2016 the Russian third placed athlete, Mariya Abakumova, tested positive for banned substances after a re-analysis of her sample, meaning that Sayers would be upgraded to the bronze medal position.

2012

She improved her British record to 66.17m at the London Grand Prix Diamond League meeting in London in 2012.

On 4 July 2012, Sayers carried the Olympic Torch through Bourne in Lincolnshire.

On 7 August 2012, Sayers competed in the women's javelin at the 2012 Summer Olympics, but had sustained an injury to her right arm and was unable to feel her throwing hand.

She threw three attempts but failed to throw the qualification distance and so stepped over the line and was knocked out of the competition without recording a mark.

Sayers subsequently had elbow surgery which involved a ligament being removed from her right wrist and inserted in her left arm.

2014

She lost her funding from UK Athletics at the end of 2014, but philanthropist Barrie Wells agreed to fund Sayers' training in exchange for helping heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson improve her javelin throwing.

2019

She eventually received her Olympic bronze medal on 20 July 2019 at the London Anniversary Games, 11 years later.
