Description:
Theresa Ione "Tessa" Sanderson, CBE (born 14 March 1956) is a former English javelin thrower and heptathlete who competed in the javelin competition in every one of the six Olympics from 1976โ1996 winning the gold medal in 1984 for Great Britain.
She is the second track and field athlete, after Lia Manoliu (discus), to compete at six Olympics. She is currently still the only British Woman to ever win a throwing Gold Medal.
When Sanderson won the gold medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics in the javelin, becoming the first British woman ever to win Olympic gold in this event, her victory was quite unexpected.
