Ref. 24672-14ONE of the Swindon area's most unusual sports stars is featured in an ITV documentary this evening.
Kelli Salone, 33, from Hannington, is best known as a boxer.
However she has also distinguished herself in action-packed sports as diverse as downhill mountain biking, motocross, supercross and skydiving.
In Las Vegas in 1999, for example, she soundly beat a Canadian mountain biking rival who made the mistake of challenging her to a downhill race.
Kelli explained at the time that even the thought of pedalling downhill at 50mph or more did nothing to faze her.
She said today that she was due to be featured in Rush, a programme about minority sports, screened at 11.45pm.
She said: "The documentary crew came and filmed me in training, and also another young fighter called James Thompson."
