Andrew Steele is a talented 400m runner who is widely
respected on the International athletics circuit. He has represented his
country at most major competitions since 2005. Andrew is a key member of the
Men’s 4x 400m relay team to which his energy has been integral in placing the

Andrew was successful on the junior scene and made the
transition to the professional circuit by winning the National Championships in
2007. He was selected for the Beijing Olympics in 2008, making the Semi Final
in the 400m and narrowly losing out on a medal in the 4x400 relay. 2009 and
2010 have seen Andrew work hard in training to come back from injury and he is
fully focused on the 2011 season and ultimately winning a medal in front of his
home crowd in 2012.
Andrew is an interesting character whose skills don’t
just lie on the sports field. He is a talented music producer, a budding
linguist who speaks a couple of languages and a devoted foodie. He is the son of GMTV’s
resident health expert Dr Steele which explains Andrew’s interest in healthy
living, exercise and nutrition.
Andrew is popular with the press and is well known for
writing his own regional columns. He combines this with a number of activities
such as school visits and motivational speaking drawing on his years of
international competition and the highs and lows of being a professional
athlete. Andrew is the ideal ambassador for his country and would be an asset
to anyone he worked with.
