Founder and editor of Britannia Sport, I have, since 2023, chronicled the unfolding story of British sport, with a particular eye for emerging talent and the fortunes of our national teams. With a deep‑rooted passion for football, athletics, rugby and swimming, my understanding of sport has been shaped by the great international competitions, where national achievements take precedence over individual glory. A keen admirer of statistics, I take pleasure in casting light on athletes and disciplines too often overlooked, while offering a broad and exacting coverage of British sport in all its richness.

Britain’s recent supremacy in the U20 and U23 categories naturally places its athletes among the overwhelming favourites, with several chasing a third consecutive individual title. After strong performances in Liverpool and on the international circuit, confidence is high. Read more Read More

The U23 European Boxing Championships, held this year in Budapest, have already showcased the promise and depth of Britain’s young talent in the Noble Art—even before all semi-final bouts have been completed.

At just 18, Alp Karadogan has already established himself as one of the most striking new talents in British rowing. A young athlete of extraordinary physique — he was already 2.01m before his 15th birthday and now stands at 2.06m — he has amassed titles with a composure and consistency that command respect. Two victories at the Henley Royal Regatta, including one secured at only 15, a junior world title in 2023, a silver medal in 2024, two national crowns, two wins at the Head of the Charles, and a near-constant presence among the country’s top junior oarsmen.
