Athletics careerSolly won the gold medal for England in the 10,000 metres at the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Scotland.[1][2] He achieved his personal best time of 27:51.76 minutes at Crystal Palace on 20 June 1986. That season proved to be his peak as a "litany of injuries that could probably fill a medical text book" prevented Solly from reproducing his best form in the years ahead.[3] Personal lifeSolly was educated at St Bartholomew's School in Newbury and Durham University, where he graduated with a degree in Politics and Economics in 1985.[4] He still holds the university record in the 5,000 metres.[5] He was a member of Hatfield College.[6] Solly is now a cabinet maker based at a workshop in Thame, Oxfordshire.[7] References
