British Athletics has announced Great Britain's full squad for the track and field events at the Paris Olympics 2024. They have named a star-studded athletics team, including the likes of Olympic medalists Keely Hodgkinson, Josh Kerr, Holly Bradshaw, and Laura Muir.

Hodgkinson will compete in the women's 800m while Bradshaw will represent the nation in the women's pole vault event. Kerr and Muir will compete in the men's 1500m and women's 1500m, respectively.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson is all set to compete in the women's heptathlon event. She will be competing in her fourth Olympic games, having previously played the 2012 London Olympics, 2016 Rio Olympics, and 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The athletics team also includes World champions and European champions across various events. Additionally, they have named 35 athletes, who'll make their maiden Olympic appearances.

Team Great Britain's Chef de Mission, Mark England OBE, was quoted as saying in the press release (via British Athletics official website):

"The Games are within touching distance now and I am delighted to welcome a hugely talented and exciting track and field squad to Team GB today. The group boasts a very strong mix of Olympic, World and European medallists."

"I am confident that their experience will a source of inspiration and support not only to the 35 debutants who have also made the team, but to the wider Team GB too. Athletics fans were treated to some outstanding breakthrough performances at the British Championships in Manchester last week which has given us a glimpse of what we can expect next month in Paris," he added.
