Former Olympic skeleton champion Amy Williams meets fiance on Tinder

Former Olympic skeleton champion Amy Williams has revealed that she is engaged just 12 weeks after meeting her fiance on dating app Tinder.

The 31-year-old, who won her gold medal during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, met soldier Craig Ham earlier this year.

She told Hello! Magazine: "Dating at our age is so hard, especially when lots of your friends are married with children. For me, Bath is such a small city, everyone knows everyone. So you don't meet new people. I had reached the conclusion that I was just going to be happy on my own.

"I swear, we felt we had known each other forever. I really believe in soulmates, and instantly, it was like, I know this guy. It's as if he has always been there.

"I'm not someone who makes such quick decisions when it comes to relationships. But I go by my gut instinct. I have lived my life from this feeling, whether it is competing, or jobs. I have always been able to suss people out."

Williams, who retired from the sport in 2012, worked as a commentator during the Sochi games earlier this year.
