won a gold medal in the women’s pentathlon. Mary has been awarded CBE in
1990, MBE in 1972 and in 2000 she was appointed Dame Commander of the British
Empire. Furthermore, Mary supported young people in Northern Ireland, helping them to achieve excellence with their sport. The place of the track
named after her is Belfast. the Commonwealth Game she won 2 gold medals for the
pentathlon plus gold and silver medals for the shot put. Mary lives in
Lisburn and she is a British athlete. In 2012, Jessica Ennis won a gold medal
in the women’s heptathlon. However, shooting is my favorite track and field
event.
