A 5-year-old Nottingham girl stunned her parents when she managed to do a 400-metre run during an athletics event in which she was meant to be completing a children's race. Edie Campbell-Goddard took part in the Highland Games in Oban, Scotland, during a family holiday with her sister, mum and dad.
The run she was taking part in lasted for only a fraction of the running track, but her dad didn't manage to pick her up at the finish line and she ended up completing the full lap. With a nickname of 'Speedy Edie' and reports on her success in the Scottish press, Edie's family are now wondering whether she has a future career in athletics.
Her mum Dawn Campbell-Goddard, 47, said: "The children's race was only supposed to be a short little run, probably about 10 metres or perhaps even less, but Edie just carried on running and managed to do nearly 400 metres.
