Victory For Linford Christie's Niece As She Becomes First black Miss England


Her ambition is to follow in her uncle's speedy footsteps and win Olympic gold.

For Rachel Christie, that dream is still at least three years away. In the meantime, however, the 20- year-old niece of Linford Christie has just won another title – becoming the first ever black Miss England.

The professional track and field athlete swapped her running gear for high heels and a glamorous dress to win the contest on Monday night.

It means 5ft 10in Miss Christie will have to juggle her training schedule again as she prepares to face another hurdle – a bid for the Miss World crown in South Africa later this year.
