Former Olympic Triple Jumper and world Record Holder Jonathan Edwards is no stranger to our screens. He forms a key part of the BBC Sports team, offering his commentary and advice on today's current track and field stars. Jonathan is a core ambassador for London 2012 and was appointed to the board of LCOG (London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games) having been involved in the bidding process from the outset. He is also on the board of Ofcom.

English Schools champion in 1984, Jonathan first jumped 16m in 1986 and progressed rapidly to become the best triple jumper in Britain by 1989. In 1990 he won the Commonwealth Silver medal despite an injured ankle, winning the World Cup in 1992 and again taking Commonwealth Silver in 1994.

As a 2012 ambassador Jonathan is often required to take to the stage and remain focused in a variety of situations. He is charismatic, intelligent, extremely articulate, naturally eloquent and provides concise and thorough presentations. He also specifically offers a presentation on 'The Business of the Bid' - the background to the successful 2012 achievement.

Jonathan is an experienced and professional speaker. He has a relaxed and natural confidence when he presents and is well known for his eloquent, clear and controlled style.
