For Mental Health Awareness Month, former Claires Court School pupil, Amber Rutter (formerly Hill) has spoken with BBC Sport about overcoming depression and anxiety after a positive COVID test robbed her of her chance to compete for Olympic glory in Tokyo. The England shooter was ranked world number one heading into the delayed 2021 Olympic Games and was seen as one of Team GB's leading medal hopes. However, on the eve of the Games - with her bags packed and ready for her flight to Tokyo - she tested positive for Covid-19 and her Olympic dream was dashed. She went on to win European and World honours in the following years before his death in 2019. Amber had hoped to honour the impact he'd had on her sporting career by winning an Olympic medal, and she admitted to feeling 'guilt' after her positive test.
