Prior to winning Gold at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Kate enjoyed success from the outset of her
professional career. Kate won her first Senior medal in 2014 and continued to perform at the top
level which led to her selection to compete at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, where she
was the highest finishing British athlete coming in 5 th position.
Her success continued into the next Olympic cycle and saw her win multiple World Cup and major
championship medals and never drop below a world ranking of no 6.
The delayed 2021 season was her most successful to date where Kate broke the world record for
fencing in modern pentathlon, claimed the world number 1 ranking, winning 2 golds and a silver
medal before winning her most acclaimed medal of all – The Gold medal at the Olympic Games
where she set the Olympic record of highest overall points scored in the Modern Pentathlon.
Kate was made an MBE in the 2022 New Year Honours.
