He was seen as the standard-bearer for the resurgence of British sprinting. In the space of a few short months, Louie Hinchliffe went from promising prospect to NCAA champion and Olympic medallist. Then, almost as swiftly, his trajectory became clouded by injuries and a hasty career decision. Eighteen months after leaving the American collegiate circuit to turn professional, the Sheffield sprinter has performed a U-turn. His destination: Texas, and a return under the guidance of Carl Lewis at the University of Houston. Read more Read More
England U20 saw their early Championship momentum halted by a 31–21 defeat to Ireland in a match defined by two very different halves. Dominant in the collisions and largely in control during the opening forty minutes, Andy Titterrell’s men were unable to maintain that grip after the break, as Irish efficiency — and a handful of pivotal refereeing calls — swung the contest decisively.

Keely Hodgkinson deliberately withdrew from the final at the British Indoor Championships in order to protect herself and maximise her chances of attacking the world indoor 800 metres record.

Tito Odunaike was the standout name at the 2026 British Indoor Championships. In Birmingham, the 16-year-old produced a winning leap of 15.75m in the triple jump to become the youngest British male champion since 1979. No athlete of his age had claimed a senior national title since Phil Brown won the 200m crown 47 years ago. With this victory, Odunaike underlines what his performances had already suggested : he is currently the leading British men’s triple jumper of the indoor season. Read more Read More
