Mo Farah heads UK Team to Euro 2012
UKA have today announced a squad of 109 athletes from which the Aviva Great Britain and Northern Ireland Team will be finally selected to compete in Helsinki, Finland at the European Athletics Championships.
The squad will be reduced in size following this weekend’s Aviva 2012 Trials, at which point, any track athletes already having gained automatic qualification for Team GB will be de-selected in order to focus on their preparations for the Olympic Games.
Field event athletes however, will be permitted to compete in Helsinki should the additional competition opportunity benefit their overall build up.
This year’s European Championships marks the first ever event to take place during an Olympic year, following the decision by European Athletics to take the competition into a biennial cycle from 2012 onwards. The final Aviva GB & NI team for the event, which takes place Wednesday 27 June – Sunday 1 July, will be confirmed on the morning of Monday 25 June – after the conclusion of the Aviva 2012 Trials.
