Miss Christie trains six days a week at the stadium named after her uncle in Shepherd's Bush, West London, and is already highly ranked at the metres and the heptathlon. Her brother James, 22, also trains at the stadium. Their father Russell had been a promising athlete but unlike his brother Linford, who won Olympic gold in the metres in Barcelona in , fell into crime.
On the night of Linford's Olympic glory, a warrant was issued for Russell's arrest for allegedly stealing clothes and handling stolen credit cards. In came a three-year sentence for theft and beating up a lover. He was stabbed to death in after becoming involved in a drugs war. Miss Christie, who lives with her mother Diana Kiss, two brothers and a sister, says it was her father's death that made her think about 'what's important' in life.
Next stop, the world! While her ambition and focus is fired by memories of her father, her inspiration is her uncle. Growing up in West London, the whole family used to gather round the television to watch him compete. She began athletics training aged 11, but fell in with 'the wrong people' and lost focus until she realised that she did not want a future 'on benefits'. After an month injury break she is now fighting back, and aims to shave seconds off her personal bests to join the British Olympic team.

She added: 'We struggled for years, we had no holidays, no car — the day we children got something we wanted was a rare one. So I know I have to work hard.

The public vote was supposed to be acting as one of the judges' decisions.
It was a big deal to me, but on the night it felt like it meant nothing. Calls to register a public vote cost more than 60p each — and only small print on the official website indicates that a 'vote does not mean a contestant will win the competition'.
Organiser Angie Beasley said all the girls knew success in the public vote would only secure a 'fast-track' place in the last 15 and counted as one-seventh of the final judging decision. She said Miss Christie also had a fast-track place because she was representing a cosmetics company.
Half the finalists were fast-track contestants. Lorraine Christie. Lisa Christie. Russell Christie. Anna Christie. Anita Christie. Korel Oliver-Christie. Liam Oliver-Christie. Briannah Christie.
