Jazmin Sawyers (born 21 May 1994) is a British track and field athlete who competes in the long jump, and sports presenter. She has also competed as a bobsledder and a heptathlete. Representing England, she was the silver medallist in the long jump at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. She won a silver medal at the 2016 European Athletics Championships and a bronze medal in the 2022 event. At both the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 2020 Summer Olympics, she finished eighth in the long jump. Her outdoor personal best is 6.90m achieved in June 2021. In 2017, she competed in the sixth series of The Voice UK. Early life Born in Stoke-on-Trent to a Jamaican father and an English mother, who later became the Chief Constable of Staffordshire. Sawyers was initially a child gymnast, participating in the sport from the age of four. At ten years old she began to take part in athletics events at school and decided to start practising in various events. Sawyers studied for a degree in law at Bristol University, graduating with a 2:1. Athletics career As part of City of Stoke Athletics Club, Sawyers focused mainly on high jump and long jump. At the 2007 English Schools Championships she was the high jump runner-up with a personal best of , finishing behind Katarina Johnson-Thompson. The following year she won the English Schools' titles in the long jump and the pentathlon – a feat she repeated in 2009. In 2010, she won a scholarship to study at Millfield public school. Youth and junior medals Sawyer's first international appearances came in 2011. At the 2011 World Youth Championships in Athletics she placed ninth in the heptathlon. She cleared six metres in the long jump for the first time that year and surpassed that mark to win the gold in the event at the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games. She was also a 4×100 metres relay champion with England at that event. Sawyers' bobsleigh training at the start of the year meant she was ill-prepared for heptathlon in the summer of 2012. She opted to focus on the long jump instead, as this combined well with the explosive strength training she had undertaken for the winter sport. This proved to be a successful switch as she set a personal best of to place third at the British Athletics Championships and also set the world-leading junior mark. Sawyers was
