About Kim Wall (sprinter)

Kimberly Wall is an English former sprinter specializing in the 400 metres and the 2010 World Athletics Indoor Championships bronze medalist in the 4 × 400 m relay. She also won eight continental medals throughout her career, mostly as a member of the British 4 × 400 m relay team which spanned from the 1990s through her retirement in 2012. She was controversially not selected for the four-woman British 4 × 400 m team at the 2008 Summer Olympics despite finishing 4th at that year's national championships. In 2000, Wall qualified for the first Commonwealth Youth Games, winning her first international gold medal in the 400 m representing England. English teams also won gold medals in the 4 × 400 m and 4 × 100 m, but whether or not Wall was a member of those teams is unknown. Though she finished 8th in the 200 m finals, her 4 × 400 m team which she led off for won the gold medal ahead of Jamaica and Romania.
