Elliot Giles, Andrew Pozzi, Keely Hodgkinson and Holly Bradshaw are on the squad of 41 named for the event in Toruń

The British team for the European Indoor Championships in Toruń, Poland, on March 4-7 is packed with medal hopes and exciting up-and-coming athletes.

Contenders for the podium in Poland include former European indoor pole vault champion Holly Bradshaw, reigning world indoor 60m hurdles champion Andy Pozzi and US-based sprint hurdles sisters Tiffany Porter and Cindy Sember.

The squad is also bolstered by some of the endurance runners who have shone in recent weeks on the international circuit. They include Marc Scott, who is travelling over from his base in Oregon to compete in the 3000m in Poland fresh from his stunning 27:10.41 for 10,000m and 7:36.08 for 3000m outdoors in recent days.

Elliot Giles and Jamie Webb, the 800m duo (pictured above) who smashed Seb Coe’s 38-year-old UK indoor record this month, are set to race despite missing last weekend’s trials.

Another 800m sensation, Keely Hodgkinson, is in the team too following her world under-20 indoor record this season, although fellow 800m runner Jemma Reekie is one of a handful of notable absentees from the team.

The biggest name not in the team, of course, is Dina Asher-Smith, who has called time on her indoor season due to a minor injury.

Traditionally the European Indoor Championships is a good event to give up-and-coming athletes experience and Holly Mills has been rewarded for her fine pentathlon performance at the trials by being invited to compete in the combined events.

Long jumper Jacob Fincham-Dukes has also been rewarded for his fine form in the trials, whereas Sophie McKinna will hope to make further improvements on her great recent form.

There are also good relay squads and the 41-strong team could ultimately be bigger as well if British Athletics’ request for more field events additions is accepted.

The team will do well to match its tally of four golds and 12 medals at the last championships, which was held on home soil in Glasgow in 2019, but they will certainly travel to Poland with healthy hopes under new head coach Christian Malcolm.
