Cllr Cara Sanquest, Cabinet Member for Communities at Westminster City Council, said:

“It’s brilliant to see so many children and young people living or studying in Westminster excel in the London Youth Games this year. It’s fantastic that a Westminster competitor has taken home bronze in table tennis, and that we had impressive successes in cricket and basketball. All of our athletes have done Westminster proud – congratulations to everyone who took part.”

As the 50th anniversary Golden Games approaches in 2027, LYG is inviting Londoners to share their stories and celebrate the life-changing impact of the Games here: The London Youth Games Helped Me...Since 1977, more than two million young people aged 7–17 have taken part – including sporting legends like Mo Farah, Christine Ohuruogu MBE, David Weir CBE, and Raheem Sterling MBE.
