She also worked as an athlete mentor at the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust for approximately 2 years. Later she became a news writer and anchor. The pay of Rachael Latham is not known to the people to date. Her origin of income is from being a motivational speaker, consultant, and BBC reporter now. Rachael Latham is joined the knot with her hubby Anthony Kolanko.
Kolanko is a global industrial market development administrator at Hydro International Limited. Latham and Kolanko came across each other in the United States and dated for several years before getting married.
The loving couple exchanged the pledges and promised to be husband and wife on the 15th of August I needed to work, to get back some sort of meaning to life. I was thinking about becoming a pilot — I was really influenced by Douglas Bader — but then this TV presenting opportunity came around, so I took it. The way I see it, it's like I'm chasing a bouncing ball. As long as it keeps bouncing, as long as the opportunities keep coming my way, I'll keep chasing it.
I met Rachael at the auditions. We come from very different backgrounds, me and her. I'm the military man, she's the student. But she was an obvious choice for TV: she is a gorgeous girl, has a credible Paralympic history, and, boy, she can talk! We went to Berlin in to cover the swimming championships, and that was a really bonding time, lots of nights out, meals, drinks. It helped us build a good rapport, which you can see on screen, I think.
It's not something you can learn; it has to be natural. I think the success of any co-presenters is down to the chemistry. Presenting should always look natural, care-free, fun.
I don't like turning on the television and seeing presenters who have been bolted on to programmes and spoon-fed their scripts and their knowledge. I want to see people who know what they are talking about, and can explain it for viewers. The great thing about Paralympic sport is that it is still such a grey area. So many viewers are coming to it fresh, wanting to learn more, which means there are so many areas of debate.
As long as you know your stuff, and we both do, there are so many questions to answer. We also happen to be pretty good at joking with each other. I AM from Wigan. I was born and lived there until I left for University in Sheffield when I was I AM proud of my five years representing the British Paralympic swimming team. I also finished fifth in the m backstroke at the Beijing Paralympics. I AM excited about watching the servicemen and women regain the drive and determination used in their military training to try and be the fittest in their field again.
Rachael suffered a terrible set-back when she lost the use of her good arm only three months before Beijing.
To make matters worse, she was then knocked off the top by Heather Frederiksen. Losing your only good arm for almost three months before Beijing is a challenge. And then returning to find a new girl has swept you from top spot is potentially devastating.
Surgery was necessary when a muscle in the shoulder of the arm she swims with came loose. It was touch and go whether Rachael would make the qualifying times for Beijing and a new power emerged on the blocks. If anything, competition such as this makes Rachael more motivated. Unfortunately, it was the problem in her arm which resulted in Rachael reluctantly retiring from elite swimming in After returning to training, she began to experience the same type of acute pain which she suffered from back in and with the advice of her doctor, took the decision to not risk permanently damaging her shoulder in the long term.
Before long however, Liz Johnson, her friend and Paralymic champion, introduced her to the world of Channel 4 broadcasting. At her tender age, Rachael has achieved more than most have in their entire lives.
I accomplished one which was my swimming and now I am starting a new journey in media.
