Milk has always been an important part of the diets of Britain's best athletes. And as the ‘make mine Milk’ campaign grows in stature, the white stuff is once again propelling our top stars to success.

That's why some of the country’s most talented sportspeople – past, present and future – have come together to celebrate the health benefits of low fat milk and to encourage others to consume more. Denise Lewis OBE, Ed Clancy MBE, Andy Turner, Jazmin Carlin and Stefanie Reid make up Team Milk and all believe that a mixture of skill, self-discipline and semi-skimmed can carry them through to glory.

  • Denise Lewis Denise Lewis OBE Athletics

    Denise Lewis is one of Britain’s best-loved sportswomen. Now retired from athletics, Denise still trains regularly but is just as likely to be found running round after her three young children. For Denise, milk is the best thing she can give her family, and she tells her kids that it will help them to grow 'big and strong'.

  • Ed Clancy Ed Clancy MBE Cycling

    World Champion cyclist Ed Clancy is setting his sights high as he aims to be the best Team Pursuit and Omnium rider in the world. His dedication and commitment to his sport has made him one of the most successful British cyclists in recent years.

    Low fat milk is an important part of Ed's training regime - he mixes semi-skimmed with a protein shake after a hard session on the track to help his muscles recover quickly.

  • Jazmin Carlin Jazmin Carlin Swimming

    Swimmer Jazmin is just like any other university student, apart from the fact that she's one of the world's top swimmers and has already claimed a Commonwealth Games silver and bronze. Her star is rising fast and she is one of the top athletes to look out for.

    Jazmin's love of low fat milk is shared by her friends, too - she says that when she's with her mates they drink it 'like it's going out of fashion'.

  • Steph Reed Stef Reid Athletics

    Amputee sprinter and long jumper, Stefanie Reid, became a British sports star in 2010 and is our only amputee athlete. If her previous achievements are anything to go by – she is the current world record holder for the F44 long jump - Canada's loss will be Great Britain's gain.

    When she's not training, Stef can be found studying for her Masters qualification in nutrition.

  • Andy Turner Andy Turner Athletics

    Andy Turner is Britain's top sprint hurdler and is riding high at the moment as the current European and Commonwealth Champion at 110m hurdles. He is on the up and is one to watch over the next few years.

    Andy’s favourite way to enjoy milk is on his cereal in the morning and he feels honoured to be part of the 'make mine Milk' campaign.
