Christabel Nettey is the reigning women's Commonwealth long jump champion. The 27-year-old from Brampton, Ontario brought home the gold medal for Canada at the Games in Gold Coast, Australia in April. Four years earlier Christabel had won bronze at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and the following year she won the Pan-American Games title in Toronto. But the intervening years have been very difficult for her as she struggled with injury and failed to reach the 2016 Olympic final. She spoke to Planet Sport's Tom Ellis a few days after winning her Commonwealth title in Gold Coast about what winning the title meant to her and how her faith has helped her to keep going despite many adversities.
