After her recent success at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, coming away with 4 Silver medals in the 400m, 800m, 4x100m Universal Relay and 1,500m and a Gold in the T53 Women's 100m, she was awarded with an OBE in the 2025 New Year's Honours List for her services to athletics.
About Sammi Kinghorn
Sammi was previously appointed an MBE in the 2022 Birthday Honours for services to disability sport.
Although a well decorated Sports Woman, excelling on the track wasn’t always her goal. In December 2010, Samantha was involved in an accident on the farm on which she grew up, which left her paralysed from the waist down. A strong advocate for disabled empowerment, Sammi enjoys speaking candidly about the impact of her accident to a wide range of audiences, from school children to CEOs. She hopes that her story serves as a reminder of the power of sport, the importance of determination and the need for wider representation in the Broadcasting world and is now recognised as the fastest ever female British wheelchair racer regardless of classification across 100m, 200m, 400m and 800m.
Sammi has always had a deep passion for farming and the outdoors, that was cultivated by her farm upbringing and hopes to boost equal representation in this space. This led her to grace the screens as a presenter of BBC’s Countryfile in 2023.
Through her sporting success, Sammi has worked with an array of brands, from Natwest, Honda, Puma and EDF.
