Olympic legend Fatima Whitbread is currently still competing in this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here South Africa, and has been winning fans over with her determination and vulnerability. Although she’s now become known for her signature short hairstyle, the former Olympic javelin thrower didn’t always have her iconic cropped haircut.
In a throwback photo from her sporting days, Fatima looks almost unrecognisable with her long, flowing locks as she lifts a trophy. Fatima rose to prominence in 1979 when she was crowned the European Junior Champion, before achieving global fame as she broke the world record in javelin with a throw of 77.4m.
Fatima went on to win the 1984 women’s javelin competition during the WAAA Championships, and a photo from the event shows Fatima looking very different from her present day style. Whilst the athlete is now known for an ultra short hairstyle, with a short back and sides and just a hint of her natural curls on the top of her head, in the throwback snap Fatima can be seen letting her lengthy curls flow in a much longer shoulder length cut.
Fatima switched up her longer curls for a shorter, mushroom style cut in the early 90s that saw her curls brushed out into a looser, more voluminous shape, and although she was rarely photographed out of her athletic clothes, she was snapped accessorising with some pearl earrings. In the early 2000s she’d switched up her style again, in favour of a shorter, sleeker style, that more closely resembles her current preferred cut.
