Micky Beckett's Olympian fiancee, family tragedy and proud Welsh roots
Sailor Michael Beckett, a 29-year-old from Solva, Wales, is set to make his Olympic debut in the men's dinghy event at the Paris Games. After a successful career in sailing, including European gold and world medals, Beckett aims to secure a top 10 finish to advance to the medal races. He reflects on his Welsh roots and the support from his family, especially after the loss of his mother, who encouraged his Olympic dreams. Beckett's fiancée, Ellie Aldridge, is also competing for Team GB.
