UK Athletics (UKA) the National Governing Body for athletics in the UK has today revealed the new team kit that will be worn for the first time at this summer’s major athletics Championships featuring the Great Britain and Northern Ireland team. Most notably followers of the GB & NI team will welcome the return of the Union flag to the front of the vest, following feedback from athletes and fans across the UK.

UK Athletics has announced the Great Britain and Northern Ireland team selected for the European Athletics U18 Championships in Jerusalem, Israel from 4-7 July.

With a maximum team size of 40, Jessica Bailey (coach: Matthew Long, club: Leven Valley) heads to Jerusalem as a strong medal prospect as the current European leader in the 3000m, after a 9:19.12 clocking at the Milton Keynes BMC earlier this month.

Larry Klayman, the founder of both Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch and a former federal prosecutor in the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), had this to say about the Professional Golf Association’s (PGA’s) recent actions and commentary, which he says is tantamount to “using its dominant market power to stifle competition in the golf industry through monopolization, group boycotts, market division” and what he alleges are “other anti-competitive acts.”

British long jump record holder, Shara Proctor has called time on her stellar career that included medals at world, European and Commonwealth games and a sixth place at the 2012 London Olympic Games.

Whilst she first took the British best mark in 2012, the 33-year-old flew to the current British long jump record of 7.07m in 2015 with her silver medal winning leap at the World Championships in Beijing.

To help provide a warm and uniquely Brummie welcome to this summer’s Commonwealth Games, a special ceremony will be performed by local students and Birmingham based theatre professionals when the 6,500 athletes and team officials from the 72 nations and territories arrive at the three Birmingham 2022 campus villages located across the region.
