This week some of our budding journalists were invited to interview Shirley Webb - Scotlands own Hammer Throwing Champion.
Rachael has written about the visit:
Gladiator Ready? Interviewer Ready?
On the 4 March Shirley Webb aka "Battleaxe" paid the girls at Hamilton Grammar a visit. Shirley is known for her role in Gladiators, as Battleaxe, and her athletic achievements. Shirley's was a hammer thrower for Scotland in the Commonwealth Games (2002 and 2006). She has also competed in th eEuropean Championships, World Championships, Olympic Games (2004). Shirley holds the current record for Scottish Hammer Throwing and the third in Britain. Shirley is a woman of many talents she also dives, dances and lays rugby.
Shirley answered all of the grilling questions the girls asked on the day (on and off air). The BBC filmed the interview. We were all really pleased with the interview and at the end Shirley treated us to a signed photograph and we got to look at her beautiful costume from Gladiators.
We were fortunate enough for out interview to be filmed and edited by the BBC
