Career

Allan is from Camberley, Surrey, England, and trained at the Camberley Judo Club.[2][3] In 1993, she became champion of Great Britain, winning the featherweight division at the British Judo Championships.[4] The following year in 1994, she won a bronze medal at the 1994 European Judo Championships[1] and retained her British title.[4] Also in 1994, she was involved in a row with coach Mark Earle, which led to him being temporarily suspended by British Judo.[5]

In 1995, she won her third consecutive British featherweight title.[4] Her next major success came when she won a silver medal at the 1998 European Judo Championships before winning the gold medal at the 1999 European Judo Championships, in the gold medal match she defeated Paula Saldanha.[3][6]
