what is the unbelievable medal
medal we all know ,but do you know what is the unbelieveable medal?do you know that ?today ,we will introduce this .
Dame Katherine Grainger, the chair of UK Sport, was among those who paid tribute, calling Nicholl an “incredible leader” and praising her “tireless work, infectious humour and spirit of resilience”.“We must never forget the transformation that has occurred under her guidance nor take for granted how many people, myself included, have been able to realise their potential because of her tireless work,” she added.
Many had expected the 66-year-old Nicholl, who joined UK Sport as director of elite sport in 1999 and was made CEO in September 2010, to leave after the Rio Olympics. However, those close to her said that when she heard that the previous chair Rod Carr and performance director Simon Timson would both be leaving after the 2016 Games, her sense of duty compelled her to carry on. One insider likened her to the queen, calling her “regal, humble and well liked on all sides of the sporting spectrum”.
After announcing her departure, Nicholl insisted that the system was in place for her successor to build on the success of Rio 2016 Olympics, in which Britain finished second in the medal table. “This really is the best job in sport and I have enjoyed every minute of it,” she added. “I am confident that it will attract some great applicants and my successor will find British sport in a good position to realise our vision of inspiring the nation in Tokyo and beyond.”
