Colin Jackson is one of Britain’s most celebrated athletes, renowned for his exceptional achievements in the 110m hurdles. Throughout his illustrious career, he secured an Olympic silver medal, became a two-time World Champion, and set multiple world records. His dominance extended to European and Commonwealth titles, solidifying his status as a leading figure in international athletics for over a decade.
Since retiring from competitive sports, Colin has transitioned seamlessly into broadcasting. A trusted and charismatic voice, he has been a prominent athletics commentator and pundit for the BBC since the 2004 Athens Olympics, with his expertise and engaging commentary shining at events such as the Paris 2024 Olympics.
In recent years, Colin has become a powerful advocate for diversity, inclusion, and mental health awareness. His open and connectible honesty has captivated the media and live audiences alike, as he speaks from the heart about the stressful demands of competing at the highest level and the impacts of anxiety. Through candid discussions, Colin has inspired countless individuals, offering a unique perspective on resilience and well-being. His work as the presenter of the BBC’s 2020 Panorama film Athletes brought crucial attention to the mental challenges faced by professional athletes, resonating deeply across the sporting community and beyond.
Colin’s versatility extends to entertainment, where he showcased his charisma on Strictly Come Dancing. Partnered with Erin Boag, he wowed audiences in 2005, finishing as runner-up and later winning the 2006 Christmas Special with a perfect score.
At 57, Colin is arguably more relevant now than ever. His personable and professional approach, combined with his high profile, ensures he remains in high demand from the commercial sector. Colin delivers more talks now than ever before, captivating audiences as a confident and charismatic conference and awards host, as well as an outstanding motivational speaker.
