First seven members of athletics squad selected for Tokyo 04/01/21
The British Olympic Association has confirmed the first seven members of the athletics squad who have been selected to Team GB for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
Chris Thompson, 39, and Stephanie Davis, 30, secured their spots in Tokyo after victories at the British Athletics Marathon and 20km Walk Trial at Kew Gardens last week.
For Thompson, who became a dad for the first time earlier in the week, it capped a whirlwind few days as he achieved a personal best time, completing the course in two hours, 10 minutes and 52 seconds, which doubled as an Olympic Games qualifying standard. Ben Connor, 28, also booked his seat on the plane after finishing second, having set the qualifying standard in 2020.
