Linford Christie is the fastest grandfather in the world
Christie was the first and only athlete to say at the same time as an Olympic (1992), World (1993), European (1986, 1990, 1994) and the Commonwealth Champion (1990, 1994). But not only the recortanon was extremely rapid, but also in childbirth. After becoming a dad as a teenager, he had another seven children for four different women. Merrick, aforementioned, follows his father’s athletic footsteps, personal trainer and lifestyle consultant. The sons of Iker, Liam and Korel are 40 years old: the former was on the front pages in 2012 by being depleted for four years for the distribution of heroin and cocaine. Briannah, 27, has learned the law and is very close to his father, and has also appeared in the BBC documentary about Christie’s success and fall. It should be noted that two doping issues have been stained on his unique career: the first (at the 1988 Olympics) was saved with a 13:12 vote proportion and his act was classified as a coincidence. In 1999, however, he was convicted for two years for the use of anabolic steroids, but it was not divided and multiplied as he was already 39 years old.
– My dad has a hard time seeing what he has done. Maybe I would dig up his honors and put them in the house to remind him of what he did. I think he can be very proud of everything he has achieved Says his granddaughter Briannah, whose mother, Mandy Miller, gave Christie with another boy and a girl, while Levitia Rathbone was born fifth and sixth.
Christie is still very active, a trainer at Brunel University Athletes and a personal trainer. He also holds himself in order: he recently puts 130 kilos of bench press on a recently loaded video.
– First and foremost, I do not want to be a coach for a team, but a motivator. This is what I do. I’ll tell my disciples that I was never the best but I could believe with everyone that I am the fastest Said his creed.
