Be-mag talks to the queen of UK rollerblading about her inspirational success story and working with Dame Kelly Holmes.
Listing the achievements of Jenna Downing is on a par with trying to memorise the lyrics to The Beatles’ entire back catalogue: damn near impossible. After all, she set the rollerblading world alight at the mere age of eight when she won the IISS World Finals in 1996, finally turning pro at the age of 12 making her the youngest ever female professional. From then on she has gone on to dominate some of the world’s biggest events by winning the British Championships ten times, taking silver at the X Games in 2002 and winning the LG Action Sports World Championships in 2008.
