Nicola Adams has revealed how she was forced to fight through the pain barrier to make history as the first ever Olympic women's boxing gold medallist in London last year.

Adams captured the nation's hearts by sweeping through the flyweight division, while keeping secret a serious hand injury which caused her pain and restricted her training regime.

Adams damaged ligaments in two knuckles on her right hand during her run to the final of the World Championships in May last year and the injury threatened to hit her hopes of an Olympic medal.

I was one of the few people who knew about this and i can confirm it’s all true.

If ever there was a superstar of London 2012 is was Nicola. Fully deserved her MBE, presented this week.

You've got to love Nicola. I agree with Box Up, she was the star of the London Olympics for me.
