Bolt to Rees-Zammit - a dozen career switching stars
Jade Jones was named BBC Cymru Wales Sports Personality of the Year in 2012 and 2016
- Published
Two-time Olympic champion Jade Jones has confirmed she is switching sports from taekwondo to boxing.
The 31-year-old won taekwondo gold at London 2012 and Rio 2016 and was World Champion in 2019 as well as being a three-time European champion.
Jones has been boxing for two months and is training with former professional boxer Stephen Smith.
She is "dreaming big" as she aims to become a two sport world champion.
Jones is not the first, and unlikely to be the last, to switch sports in the pursuit of further success.
BBC Sport looks at those who have made sporting switches – with varying levels of success.
Usain Bolt
Usain Bolt's 100m time of 9.58 seconds set in 2009 remains a world record
Eight-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt is regarded as the greatest sprinter of all time and still holds the world record for the 100m and 200m.
The Jamaican ended his glittering track and field career in 2017 and turned his attention to forging a new sporting career – as a footballer.
Bolt trained with Borussia Dortmund, South African club Mamelodi Sundowns and Norway's Stromsgodset before joining Australian club Central Coast Mariners for an "indefinite training period" in August 2018 but left after eight weeks.
A professional career never materialised and Bolt has had to settle for appearances at charity fixture Soccer Aid.
Louis Rees-Zammit
Louis Rees-Zammit has won 32 caps for the Wales national rugby team
Rees-Zammit shocked rugby union in January 2024, when he announced before the Six Nations he was quitting the sport in a bid to make a breakthrough in American football.
The ex-Wales and Gloucester wing entered the National Football League (NFL) international player pathway, a 10-week crash course designed to teach and assess aspiring players.
Initially Rees-Zammit signed to the Kansas City Chiefs for pre-season training before moving to Jacksonville Jaguars last August.
Last month he re-signed as a wide receiver with Jacksonville and continues to strive for his ambition of appearing in the NFL.
Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan twice won Olympic gold with the United States of America basketball team
Considered by many as the best player in the history of basketball, Jordan spent most of his career with the Chicago Bulls and became a global icon, helping raise the National Basketball Association's (NBA) profile around the world.
Jordan is a six-time NBA champion with his sixth and final NBA title chronicled in Netflix documentary The Last Dance.
During the peak of his career, Jordan abruptly retired from basketball in 1993 and switched briefly to baseball, a sport in which he excelled at as a youngster.
He had a successful trial with the Chicago White Sox and played for one of their affiliate teams, the Birmingham Barons in Minor League Baseball before returning to basketball and the Bulls in 1995.
Lauren Price
Lauren Price has won all eight of her professional boxing bouts
Wales' first female world champion boxer Price also won Olympic gold at Tokyo 2020 as well as World Championship and Commonwealth gold.
Price, the WBA champion, is preparing for the biggest fight of her professional career on Friday night when she faces WBC & IBF welterweight champion Natasha Jonas.
But the 30-year-old could easily have been preparing for this summer's European Football Championships with Wales.
Price played for Cardiff City Ladies and won the first of two senior Wales caps in 2012 – playing alongside the likes of Jess Fishlock – before opting to concentrate on boxing two years later.
As if that was not enough, Price won a kickboxing silver medal at a World Championships event in 2007 at the age of 13.
Gerwyn Price
Representing Wales, Gerwyn Price has twice won the World Cup of Darts with Jonny Clayton
When Gerwyn Price won the PDC World Darts Championship in 2021, he became the first player from qualifying school to be crowned world champion and world number one.
Price had only earned his tour card in 2014 having started playing in a pub league at Markham Rugby Club.
He had combined his hobby with a rugby union career that saw him play hooker for Cross Keys and Neath in the Welsh Premiership as well as a spell with Glasgow Warriors.
The Iceman, who has won a total of seven PDC major titles, still retains a big interest in rugby and signed for local side Bedwellty RFC in January 2023.
Sarah Storey
Sarah Storey was appointed an MBE in the 1998 New Year Honours list
Great Britain's most decorated Paralympian, Storey won a record-extending 19th Paralympic gold medal at Paris 2024.
Then Sarah Bailey, she was just 14 upon beginning her Paralympic career as a swimmer at Barcelona 1992 and won two golds, three silvers and a bronze.
Further success came in the pool at the next three Paralympic Games before Storey switched to cycling for the 2008 Beijing Games.
She has claimed 13 Paralympic gold medals in cycling – five Games in a row - to add to the five she won in the pool.
Victoria Pendleton
Victoria Pendleton was appointed an MBE in the 2009 New Year Honours list
Double Olympic cycling champion Victoria Pendleton retired from cycling after the 2012 Olympics and made a surprising sporting switch three years later.
Pendleton, who won Olympic gold in the sprint at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and the keirin at the 2012 Games in London, started to train as a jockey in March 2015.
She came eighth on her amateur jockey debut in a flat race at Newbury in July that year and made her competitive debut the following month, finishing second.
Pendleton achieved her ambition of participating in the 2016 Foxhunter Chase, at Cheltenham, finishing fifth.
Ian and Liam Botham
Ian Botham now works as a cricket pundit and commentator
Current Wales flanker James Botham is from a prominent sporting family - grandfather Ian is an England cricket legend, seen by many as the finest all-rounder of his generation.
Ian Botham's international career lasted from 1974 until 1993 and saw him scoring 19,399 runs and taking 1,172 wickets in 402 matches.
He also made 11 appearances in the Football League for Scunthorpe United and also played for Yeovil Town.
Son Liam – James' father – played a season of County Cricket for Hampshire before a switch to rugby union which included spells with Cardiff and Newcastle Falcons.
He also switched codes to play rugby league for Leeds Rhinos, London Broncos and Wigan Warriors.
Wilf Wooller
Wilf Wooller went on to become secretary and president of Glamorgan
Arguably Wales' greatest all round sportsman, Wooller won 18 caps for Wales between 1933 and 1939 and played for Cardiff RFC.
Wooller was part of the Wales team which beat the All Blacks in 1935, the same year in which he made his first class cricket debut for Cambridge University.
He first played for Glamorgan in 1939 and after the Second World War was captain of the county for 14 years which included a County Championship title in 1947.
In addition Wooller, who died aged 84 in 1997, briefly played football for Cardiff City and Barry Town.
Non Evans
Non Evans' total of 64 tries for Wales is a record in women's international rugby union
Non Evans enjoyed a remarkable sporting career which was recognised with an MBE in 2011 and a place in the Welsh Sports Hall of Fame.
She won 87 caps for the Wales women's rugby team, scoring 64 tries and kicked the winning penalty that beat England for the first time.
Evans also won two silver Commonwealth Games judo medals and was an international in weightlifting and wrestling too.
She was the first person to represent Wales in three different sports at the Commonwealth Games and also competed in the original Gladiators series.
