  • European U18 champions headline Great Britain’s U20 team for Jerusalem

Great Britain will be sending a team of 57 athletes to the Jerusalem 2023 European Athletics U20 Championships from 7-10 August.

The Brits won eight gold medals to top the medal table when Jerusalem staged the European Athletics U18 Championships last summer and their team is headlined by four individual gold medallists from those championships.

Nia Wedderburn-Goodison and Faith Akinbileje won the 100m and 200m titles last summer and will be looking to repeat at U20 level next month. 

Both athletes are also part of a strong 4x100m team which also features Success Eduan and Joy Eze who were also part of Great Britain’s gold medal-winning team at the 2021 European Athletics U20 Championships in Tallinn.

Other European U18 champions named on the British team for Jerusalem include Mia McIntosh in the 100m hurdles - she is also part of the relay pool in the 4x100m - and Cleo Agyepong in the shot put.

The European Athletics U20 Championships will be streamed in its entirety through the European Athletics website on the All-Athletics platform.
