Ellie Simmonds: Speed Takes Sacrifice - adidas

Reaching the top is hard. Staying there is harder. Ellie Simmonds burst on to the scene in Beijing when she was just 13. Training as a full-time athlete meant she missed out on the usual teenage experience. Eight years on, she still wants more. She’s still looking to be faster. Now more than ever she knows that speed takes sacrifice. Simmonds is a creator of speed.
