Rounding off with the UK Athletics Championships, which this year acted as the Olympic trials, June has been a busy month of competitions. English athletes shone at the European Championships in Rome, our first England representative para athletics teams excelled in Nottwil and Paris and Molly Caudery and Callum Wilkinson set new British records.

The latest England Athletics Podcast features a round-up from the UK Athletics Championships in Manchester, where Olympic hopefuls booked their spots at this summer's Paris 2024 Games.

Last week Team GB announced the very first athletes selected for this summer's Paralympic Games. With just over two months to go until the Games begin, we are proud to share that four of the ten athletes named are from England!

We caught up with top level Technical Official Alison Jordan at the Loughborough International this year and talked about her experiences and her officiating journey from County champs to Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The summer season has well and truly started as all eyes have been on the Para Worlds in Kobe and the European Championships in Rome. The British contingent have made some very impressive statements at this early point in the season, with much more excitement still to come over the summer as they battle for spots on the Olympic and Paralympic squads. Making the world stage is without doubt an incredible achievement, and we love to support the English athletes as they run, jump, throw and push against the very best in their field. However, we are also passionate about celebrating those behind the scenes; the clubs, personal coaches, support teams, and ourselves as the membership and development body who have all contributed to their journey to success.

The European Championships in Rome acted as the perfect opportunity for athletes to put their winter training to the test. It was certainly a championships to remember with some staggering performances and 13 medals across the board.

Over the last week, some of Britain’s best para-athletes have been at the World Championships in Kobe, Japan.

At Loughborough International, we were lucky to catch up with relay superstars and England team captains Lee Thompson (Sheffield & Dearne, John Henson) and Hannah Kelly (Bolton, Les Hall) to see what being named captain meant to them and their big goals for the season.

We are pleased to announce that we will be sending two England para teams to the upcoming Nottwil Grand Prix in Switzerland and Paris Grand Prix next month.
