Thank you to Helen & Kate Richardson-Walsh for coming to La Chât on 02/12/24 and speaking about your experience as Olympians and being a same-sex couple in competitive sport.
Helen and Kate Richardson-Walsh are British field hockey players who have made history both on and off the field. As members of the Great Britain women’s hockey team, they won bronze at the London 2012 Olympics and gold at the Rio 2016 Olympics. Helen captained the team, while Kate played a pivotal role in defence, making them the first same-sex married couple to win Olympic gold together. Their partnership, both in sport and life, has been an inspiring example of teamwork, resilience, and equality.
