And she certainly displayed that spirit on the track.

These days she is still going for it in the gym - as her photos show.

Holmes successfully passed out as a Class 2 PTI and eventually qualified as a Sergeant Class 1 PTI.

She also became British Army judo champion.

In Army athletics events Kelly once competed in the men's 800m as it was thought she would only embarrass competitors in the women's event.

Once she won an 800m, a 3,000m and a relay race all in a single day.

She also won the heptathlon...
