After 62 years 'snapping' Athletics, I've decided it's time to retire. Thank you @jackrbuckner @sebcoe @KatharineMerry @DmMoorcroft @paulajradcliffe @wendyslyrun @WightmanGeoff for your kind words in the article highlighting my career in the December issue of @AthleticsWeekly

Our final inductee is Richard Whitehead MBE. This hugely charismatic runner is one of Britain’s most successful Paralympic athletes and he's still breaking records - he broke the marathon world record earlier this month in Chicago! @Marathonchamp

Nicola Sanders is inducted into the England Athletics Hall of Fame - she's one of the finest single lap runners Great Britain has produced, winner of six global 4x400m relay medals.

Stan Greenberg was the man at the helm of the BBC's commentator statistics for 26 years working on Olympic Games and 13 Commonwealth Games. Welcome to our Hall of Fame!

Our first inductee to the 2024 Hall of Fame is Lorna Boothe MBE @LornaBoothe, a two-time Olympian, and a two-time Commonwealth Games medallist with a lifetime of service to athletics.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Sir Jack Petchey CBE. Our thoughts and sympathies are with his family and friends. If you would like to write a message in memory, please post it here or directly on our dedicated in-memory page: sirjackpetcheycbe.muchloved.com
