The brief

Born in Newham, Christine Ohuruogu was raised less than one mile from the London Stadium in Stratford, little did she know she'd become an Olympic, World, and Commonwealth Champion. Christine is one of the finest athletes that British Athletics have ever seen, winning medals at three successive olympics, a feat most can only dream of.

George said "Having Christine in the studio for a sitting was genuinely a real privilege, being able to see inside a mind of an Olympian really woke me up to the consistent disciplined required for greatness."

This portrait now hangs "proudly" in Christine's home.
