Sally Walton

Hockey Codes

Sally Walton is a British field hockey player, born on 10 June 1981 in Southport, England, and recorded by Olympedia under the full name Sally Ellen Walton. She is listed at 180 centimetres and 68 kilograms. She represented Great Britain in the women's hockey tournament at the 2012 Summer Olympics, where the team finished third and won the bronze medal, which is the only Games and the only Olympic medal in her Olympedia record. The same biography lists her among the Olympians who also won a medal at the British Empire and Commonwealth Games, a bronze in hockey at the 2010 Games in Delhi, where she competed for England rather than Great Britain. Her career as a hockey international therefore spans both the Olympic and the Commonwealth stage, with a medal at each.
