Setting the standard

Pentathlon GB‘s Olivia Green was the first University of Bath-based athlete to achieve the Paris Olympic qualifying standard when she won women’s individual bronze for Team GB at the 2023 European Games in Poland. Defending Olympic Champion Joe Choong secured another quota spot for Britain when he won silver in the men’s individual competition later that afternoon. Click here to read the full report.
