Seven Yorkshire athletes from a strong Great Britain squad of 72 descend on the eternal city of Rome next week for the European Championships – with one eye for the majority of them on the Paris Olympics later this summer.
For the likes of Hallamshire Harriers’ marathon runner Calli Hauger-Thackery, a place in Paris has already been secured, so her spot in next Sunday’s half-marathon at the European Championships is just to keep her legs ticking over. She will be joined in the half-marathon by Hallamshire clubmate Lauren McNeil.
31 metres in Ostrava this week and Bell – an Olympic finalist in Tokyo – has recently reported a good block of winter training. Wakefield Harriers runner Amoy Eloise-Neale runs in the 5,000m and Teesside’s Richard Kilty is a member of the 4x100m squad. Jacob Fincham-Dukes of Leeds City Athletics Club is Britain’s sole representative in the long jump. The European Championships run from Friday, June 7, to Wednesday, June 12.
