Paula Jane Radcliffe, MBE (born on 17 December 1973 in Davenham, England) is a world class British long-distance runner and currently holds a total of 10 world records.
Radcliffe's distinctive "nodding" action while running has made her instantly recognisable to British viewers. She is not known for her sprint finish and relies on setting a punishing pace from the start in order to pull away from her opponents and open up an unassailable gap.
In 2002 Radcliffe was voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year and in June was awarded an MBE.
