Heptathlete Kelly Sotherton has been reunited with her Commonwealth Gold medal which was stolen during a burglary at her Sutton Coldfield home.
She picked up the medal at her local police station and also met the postman who found it.
The medal, which she won in the heptathlon in the 2006 Commonwealth Games, was found in a Sutton Coldfield postbox by postman Martyn Siviter after an appeal was made on the BBC’s Crimewatch.
Yesterday Kelly met Martyn and Det Con Mindy Mahil at Sutton Coldfield police station to have the medal returned.
She said: “When I first noticed my empty medal case and realised it was gone, that’s what hit me the most.
“I’m really thankful that Martyn found it and I’ve got it back. I was over the moon to find it in a postbox and so near my house!”
