New campaign looks to fi nd future Olympians

UK Sport has launched its Find Your Greatness campaign with the aim of finding young athletes who may be future members of Team GB or Paralympics GB.

The campaign will see regional testing from a range of Olympic disciplines, starting in October and being held in various major cities across the UK.

The trials will be for 16-24-year-old UK nationals and will include those with physical, visual or intellectual impairments with applications opening from now until 14th October 2024. With 39% of Brits between the ages 18-24 believing they could make Team GB by the LA 2028 Games, UK Sport believes “this is an opportunity for some of those dreams to become a reality”.

A launch event saw British athletes past and present – who have either experienced an athlete recruitment programme, or are currently competing in sports – sharing how their dreams of becoming an Olympian or Paralympian became a reality.
