Team GB shot put star Sophie McKinna has appealed for help on social media after her hopes of competing at next week's UK Indoor Championships were thrown into danger.
McKinna is one of the country's top shot putters, having represented Team GB the World Championships, the Commonwealth Games and Olympic Games. The next big date in her diary is the UK Indoor Championships which kick off in Birmingham next week.
However her chances of competing on the big stage have taken a hit after her car was broken into earlier this week, with her shot put training bag being taken from it.
