Rising sprint star Louie Hinchliffe will make his Olympic debut at Paris 2024 after winning the British 100m title at the UK Athletics Championships in Manchester.
Rising sprint star Louie Hinchliffe stunned Britain’s best to secure a fairytale Olympic 100m qualification at the UK Athletics Championships, as Daryll Neita stormed to the women’s title in Manchester.
To be assured of a chance to contest an individual event at the Olympics, athletes must achieve a top-two finish at the qualifiers in Manchester on 29 and 30 June and also have the World Athletics qualification standard. The rapid progress he has made in the 10 months since then has been nothing short of remarkable - and, as he blazed his way down the rain-lashed track, it could not have been timed any better.Hinchliffe announced himself as a genuine contender for Paris qualification after following up a statement wind-assisted time of 9.84secs in May by shattering the 10-second barrier for the first time in legal conditions to win the prestigious NCAA title - one year after finishing last in his semi-final.
Neita was left "distraught" after missing out on 200m gold - and a first major title - by one-hundredth of a second at the European Championships this month, but she resumed her bid for individual medals in Paris with a dominant display here. Caudery said: "I have had to force myself to review my expectations. Coming into the season it was definitely about reaching Paris, now it is to medal.
Cindy Sember will compete in Paris after taking a dominant victory in the women's 100m hurdles in 12.85secs, while Elizabeth Bird also qualified by winning the women's 3,000m steeplechase in a championship record 9:29.67.
