OlympicsYou are in: Gloucestershire > Olympics > Spotlight: Sharon Laws Sharon Laws (Getty image) Spotlight: Sharon LawsLet us introduce the athletes, linked with Gloucestershire, who took part in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Here we turn the spotlight on cyclist Sharon Laws who grew up in Bourton-on-the-Water and HER MUM (!!), Joy, tells us a bit about her...
What is the first race you remember your dauther, Sharon, watching?Not necessarily her watching - this cycle racing has actually come out of the blue. What happened was that she went away from home more or less as she left school and I think the cycling kicked off in South Africa because of the cycling culture there and also it was a way for her to get to know people.
Help playing audio/video You have no idea what my daughter's life has been like since she left home, from 18 to 34 - it's incredible! What has been her worst fashion crime?She is not a girly girly - she is only really happy in sports gear or cycling gear. Her worst fashion crime is that she has never ever had any interest in fashion whatsoever. Sharon Laws If money was no object, what would be the first thing Sharon would buy?She really wants a coffee shop in the Pyrenees and to take people on cycle tours - that is her dream. What's her favourite biscuit?I think she'd go for a blueberry muffin rather than biscuit. She doesn't eat biscuits and is very particular about what she eats. She does have a quirk - she slices bananas in half, fills them with peanut butter to make a sandwich and then puts them in the freezer to eat them frozen. That has been going on for many years! It's all goodness isn't it? The banana's good for you and so is the peanut butter.
Help playing audio/video Who is the most famous person with your daughter's christian name?Well I suppose Sharron Davies, although she spells her name with a double 'r'. Can she play a musical instrument?She played the recorder...badly. There's not an awful lot of musical talent in my daughter. What is her nickname?I think just 'Shaz' - it's not a very nice one but that has come up through her schooling. Has cycling ever brought Sharon, or yourself, to tears?Oh Sharon's in tears all the time! Certainly it has brought me to tears, even listening to 大象传媒 Radio Gloucestershire when she was interviewed the other week. It is very emotional when you've got your daughter doing this sort of thing out of the blue...it's just completely surreal. Sharon will be in tears because of feeling that she's not doing her best when everybody knows she gives 110% all the time - she's a very determined young lady.
