A bunch of 65 athletes have been chosen for membership to affix the UK Athletics Olympic World Class Programme* (WCP) for 2024/25. The WCP is cut up into a number of ranges reflecting the precise and the long run efficiency potential of athletes: Podium, Podium Potential, Relay and Affirmation.  The complete checklist of athletes is listed under.  The quantity 65 compares with 67 in 2023-24.  Final 12 months 17 have been within the high class of “Podium” with the quantity rising to  21 within the new checklist. This 12 months there are solely 11 “Podium potential” as towards 19 final 12 months. Within the third class “Olympic affirmation” there have been 13 final 12 months and 10 for 2024-25. Britain gained medals in all 5 relays in Paris and the variety of athletes funded for relay for the approaching 12 months is 23 in comparison with 18 beforehand.

4 athletes who have been funded final 12 months have now retired Holly Bradshaw, Andrew Pozzi, Jessie Knight and Jodie Williams. As well as, European Championship medallist within the steeplechase, Lizzie Fowl is pursuing a profession as a lawyer and isn’t searching for funding as a full-time athlete.

2023-24 funded athletes who weren’t on this 12 months’s roster embrace Eilish McColgan, Scott Lincoln, Callum Wilkinson, Lawrence Okoye, Nick Percy and Elliot Giles.

New additions to the checklist of funded athletes embrace:

Georgia Bell – who one 12 months in the past was working full-time in an workplace and working within the evenings.  She is now a 1500m Olympic medallist.

Different additions to the relay squad embrace  Lina Nielson, (a medalist in Paris who continues to battle sickness), Amy Hunt and Louie Hinchcliffe (each Paris medallists) and Desiree Henry (again in squad after years battling damage).

Phoebe Gill, the 17 year-old who reached the Olympic 800m semi-final and Romell Glave, bronze medallist within the 100m on the 2024 Europeans are additionally added.

The checklist launched by UK Athletics consists of the identify of every athlete’s coach, from which we be taught that Morgan Lake is not coached by Robbie Grabarz – no new coach named – and that Louie Hinchcliffe is now coached by Richard Kilty not Carl Lewis.

If I’ve counted accurately it’s 57 monitor and eight area, a mirrored image of the place UK athletics strengths are.
