Team selected for Paris Para Grand Prix
The Paris Para Grand Prix is a pinnacle event on the World Para calendar and England Athletics is delighted to be sending a team for the second year running.
The team features athletes with potential to represent Team England at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next year, as well as athletes who will be vying for selection to the World Para Athletics Championships in New Delhi later this year.
