Personal historyNicholls was born in Worcester in 1977.[1] She studied Equine Science at Hartpury College and works as a teaching assistant at Winchcombe Abbey School.[2][3] Nicholls was involved in a serious car accident which left her with heart complications.[2] From 2001 she had a series of strokes, while a stroke in 2008 left her unable to use her left arm and leg.[2][4] In April 2009 doctors discovered a hole in her heart for which she underwent corrective surgery.[2] Career historyNicholls first wheelchair race was at Stoke Gifford at an open event in 2010.[1] In 2011, she was classified as a T34 athlete and that summer attended multiple meets across Britain as well as events in Switzerland and Netherlands competing in the 100m, 200m, 400m and 800m races.[1] By early 2012 Nicholls had posted a sub-21 second 100m sprint and qualified for the Summer Paralympics in London, as part of the Great Britain team, in both the 100m and 200m events.[1] In the 100m she was drawn in the first heat but her time of 22.41 saw her fail to progress to the final.[1] In the 200m heats she finished fourth and qualified for the final.[1] Nicholls finished seventh with a time of 40.00.[1] In 2014 Nicholls represented Britain in the IPC Athletics European Championships in Swansea. There she won her first major international medals, with a bronze in the T34 100m, and a silver in her favoured 800m event.[1] In the 800m Nicholls finished just a second behind team mate Hannah Cockroft with a time of 2:16.68.[5] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 {{cite web|title=Mel Nicholls |url=http://www.thepowerof10.info/athletes/profile.aspx?athleteid=376658 |publisher= thepowerof10.info |accessdate=8 November 2015}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Nicholls, Mel}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|title=Nicholls, Mel |url=http://ipc.infostradasports.com/asp/lib/theasp.asp?pageid=8937&sportid=513&personid=966850&refreshauto=1 |publisher= IPC |accessdate=8 November 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Paralympic Athlete: Mel Nicholls|date=11 March 2012|url=http://www.heart.co.uk/gloucestershire/news/local/paralympic-athlete-mel-nicholls/#O1B1B5YKc1O2cMhu.97 |publisher= heart.co.uk |accessdate=8 November 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Melissa Nicholls' on a mission for Paralympic glory |url=http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Melissa-Nicholls-mission-Paralympic-glory/story-11279129-detail/story.html |publisher= bristolpost.co.uk |accessdate=8 November 2015|date=23 March 2010}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://85.17.198.3/static/info/swansea-2014/eng/at/atr173a_ec2014atw830101eng.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402140855/http://85.17.198.3/static/info/swansea-2014/eng/at/atr173a_ec2014atw830101eng.htm |dead-url=yes |archive-date=2 April 2015 |title=Women's 800m - T34 Final |publisher=IPC |date=22 August 2014 |accessdate=11 November 2015 }} 6 : 1977 births|Living people|British female wheelchair racers|Paralympic athletes of Great Britain|Athletes (track and field) at the 2012 Summer Paralympics|Sportspeople from Worcester |
