Athlete spotlights

Cyclists and sprinters, boxers and BMXers – Team GB are representing almost 30 sports in Paris. Get familiar with a few of the team’s faces ahead of the games.

 

Asha Philip

Asha Philip set a precedent early in her career, becoming the first British woman to achieve a global 100m title when she won gold at the 2007 World Youth Championships. And it was upwards from there.

In Rio, Leyton-born Philip won bronze as part of the 4x100m relay team. And in a high drama final at Tokyo 2020, Philip teamed up with Dina Asher-Smith, Imani-Lara Lansiquot and Daryll Neita to take bronze again in the same event.

Philip roared onto the podium again in 2023, teaming up with Lanisquot, Nieta and Bianca Williams to grab World Championships bronze in the same event.

Helen Glover MBE

Helen Glover is one of Britain’s greatest-ever rowers. With more than 20 gold medals to her name, she is a two-time Olympic champion and triple World and European gold medallist.

Alongside partner Helen Stanning, the rower broke Olympic, World Cup and European records in the women’s coxless pair. Just four years after Glover took up rowing, she and Stanning won Team GB’s first gold medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Glover retired after defending her title in Rio and had three children. But she returned to the boat in Tokyo, becoming the first Team GB rower to compete at an Olympics after having children. Glover and her partner Polly Swann finished fourth place in the pairs final.

Glover was awarded an MBE in the 2013 New Year Honours.
