Golden girl athlete Donna Hartley dies at 58


Golden girl athlete Donna Hartley, the former 400 m runner has died at 58.

She was found dead by her husband of 26 years in a bikini lounging in garden at Sheffield home.

Her shoulder-length blonde hair and prowess on the track earned her the ‘golden girl’ tag during a glittering running career in which she won bronze in the 1980 Olympic Games. Hartley won bronze medal at Moscow Olympic Games and was champion body builder. She was awarded an MBE in 1979.


After retiring from athletics she became a champion body builder and won the ‘Miss Britain Physique’ title. She later ran a line dancing school in the city and had been working as a hotel leisure club manager when she died.
