the top 8 when the eventual winner Malaika Mihambo made her first valid jump at the 3rd attempt. She ended in 9th place with a distance of 6.62. At the 2022 European Athletics Championships she was in 4th position after 5 attempts. Ukraine's Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk was in 3rd with 6.76 until Sawyers snatched bronze with 6.80 in the last round, reversing the outcome of 2018 when Bekh-Romanchuk displaced Sawyers from the podium with her last jump of the competition. Bobsleigh career In 2011, Sawyers was approached by the British Bobsleigh and Skeleton Association to train for the inaugural Youth Winter Olympics. Acting as brakewoman, she formed a two-man bob team with Mica McNeil. In January 2012 she represented Great Britain at the bobsleigh at the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics and Sawyers and McNeil became the country's first ever medal-winning team at the competition (and the only medallists for Britain that year), taking the silver medals behind the Dutch team. As a result, she was chosen as one of the carriers for the 2012 Olympic torch relay. Other activities Sawyers is a singer/songwriter in her spare time and, in February 2017 appeared in ITV's The Voice UK. She was successful in securing Will.i.am as her coach during the 'blind auditions', though she told the programme her main priority remained with athletics. She was eliminated from the programme on 26 February in a sing-off against fellow singer Hayley Eccles. Sawyers was an Ambassador for Right To Play, the world's leading sport for development charity. She visited Right To Play's education programme in Tanzania in 2018.
