The UK will send a 66-strong team to the 2025 Tokyo World Athletics Championships in Tokyo (13–21), with a dual ambition: to turn depth into medals and to fast-track the next generation with Los Angeles 2028 firmly in mind. World champions Josh Kerr and Katarina Johnson-Thompson will spearhead the delegation, while Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson looks to extend her dominance – challenged, notably, by a fellow Briton in Georgia Hunter Bell. The coaching staff have been clear about the strategy: target the podiums and maximise finalists, while also opening the door to emerging names elevated by the world rankings who, in the past, might not have made the cut.

Blessed with a squad of rare quality at this level, the Young Lions will be looking to make a strong start as they aim to finish in the top two of their group – ideally top spot, which would set up a more favourable semi-final tie against the runners-up from the other pool, which features France, Portugal, Germany and hosts Albania.

After an opening day highlighted by Amalie Smith’s silver medal in the women’s 400m individual medley and a flurry of personal bests across the British squad, Team GB carried their momentum into the second day of competition at the World Junior Swimming Championships in Otopeni. The undoubted highlight came in the men’s breaststroke, with Filip Nowacki storming to the world junior title in the 100m and compatriot Max Morgan joining him on the podium with bronze. Yet beyond that golden moment, there were numerous other performances worth noting.
