Celebrating Olympic Silver

Celebrating Olympic Silver!

Congratulations to Bianca Williams and the 4×100 relay team!
 
Brilliant performance from each of the athletes composing the TeamGB 4x100m relay who sprinted their hearts out in an exhilarating race, securing the silver medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
 
This is a remarkable achievement by any means and one of the best performances by one of our Champions of the Future athletes. It is an absolute pleasure and the team made us proud!
You are all such inspiration!
