  1. Caudery targets Olympic medal in breakthrough year

    Team GB's newest athletics star Molly Caudery is not mincing her words when it comes to Paris Olympics ambitions.

  2. Hinchliffe targets Olympic place at UK trials

    Only twice in the past 30 years has a time of less than 10 seconds been necessary to claim victory in the men's 100m at the UK Athletics Championships - but that could prove the minimum requirement for Britain's Olympic hopefuls this weekend.

    Rising 21-year-old sprint star Louie Hinchliffe, coached by athletics icon Carl Lewis at the University of Houston, will line up as the second-fastest European man this year after running 9.95 earlier in June.

    BBC Sport

    Audiences will get the opportunity to watch British athletes compete to either gain Olympic qualification, or for those already in the Team GB squad, get some vital competition ahead of Olympics Games in Paris.

    The men’s 100m looks set to be of big interest with Louie Hinchliffe, the rising 21-year-old sprint star, coached by athletics icon Carl Lewis at the University of Houston, lining up as the second-fastest European man this year after running 9.95 earlier in June.

    And he will face Jeremiah Azu, who clocked a wind-assisted championship record 9.90 to win the British title in 2022, has also broken the 10-second barrier this year, leaving two-time British champion Reece Prescod, European medallist Romell Glave and Eugene Amo-Dadzie - the self-styled 'world's fastest accountant' - among those also battling to be part of Team GB.

    Elsewhere, Keely Hodgkinson, Josh Kerr, Katarina Johnson-Thompson, Matthew Hudson-Smith, Dina Asher-Smith, Daryll Neita, Molly Caudery and Laura Muir are among the other high-profile names.
