MONTELL DOUGLAS

Montell Douglas brings exceptional multi‑sport experience to the camp, having made history as the first British woman to compete in both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. Originally a sprinter, Montell broke the long‑standing British 100m record with a time of 11.05 seconds and represented Great Britain in the 100m at the Beijing 2008 Olympics. She later transitioned to bobsleigh, joining Team GB’s two‑woman crew and competing at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

A highly respected figure in British sport, Montell is known for her speed, resilience and ability to perform across disciplines at the highest level. Beyond her athletic achievements, she has established a strong presence in broadcasting and media, further contributing to the sporting landscape.

Montell has previously been involved in Millfield sport performance camps as a guest speaker at the Millfield Power Speed Performance Camp led by Olympic bobsledders Greg Cackett and Taylor Lawrence in Easter 2025, where she shared her insights on elite performance, mindset and adaptability.

FACILITIES

The Athletics Track has an all-weather 400m synthetic track (polyurethane surface) with six lanes, a 100m sprint track and hurdles. The track interior contains steeplechase, high jump, long jump, pole vault, javelin, shot put, discus and hammer.

During the Summer of 2020, Millfield’s Athletics Track benefited from significant investment in a state-of-the-art refurbishment. The upgraded track now includes a world-class eight-lane sprint straight, a six-lane 400m track and an updated long jump pit.
