England Athletics squad announced for Commonwealth Games

| |

The England Athletics Team for Glasgow 2014 has been revealed today. The 129-athlete squad is comprised of 42 past Commonwealth Games athletes and four previous champions.

 

Some of the big names on the list include double Olympic champion Mo Farah, who excitingly goes in both the 5,000m and 10,000m, Olympic long jump Champion Greg Rutherford and world-leader in the heptathlon Katarina Johnson-Thompson.

 

Katarina Johnson-Thompson said ‘It was fantastic to have started the season so well in Gotzis and I am now looking ahead to representing Team England. The fact England has a great tradition in the heptathlon at the Commonwealth Games makes me all the more proud to be a part of the Games and determined to continue that success.’

 

Greg Rutherford added ‘The Commonwealth Games is going to be an amazing competition and I know that the team will be looking forward to putting in our best possible performances for Team England.’

 

Jan Paterson, Team England’s Chef de Mission noted that the athletics team is England’s largest squad and believes there is an important mix of experienced podium hopefuls and young talent involved. She said ‘They will have the privilege of competing in front of a huge crowd in Scotland’s national stadium, Hampden Park, which has been transformed for the Games, and will make it very special for each of them.’
