Nice to see Abi speaking about the challenges of stepping up from youth to junior and that it takes time. Cracking interview with an ODS rider for the past two years. https://t.co/HVcpjW9fKh
The RGU Sport and Exercise Science Conference 2025 has now come to a close! Thank you to the keynote speakers, staff, and students involved for making the day such a success. A special thanks to @KBurgi for organising the day! #RGUSESConference2025@RobertGordonUni@RGUSPASPH
SportsAid is delighted to reveal the top 10 athletes on the shortlist for this year’s One-to-Watch Award!
The annual award, supported by Aldi, the charity’s Official Supermarket Partner, was launched in 2006 and shines a spotlight on the stories behind Britain’s brightest young sporting prospects.
Each of this year’s finalists will receive in-person visits at their training environments to congratulate them on their outstanding achievements with the overall winner being announced in December.
🌟 Dan McLellan (Powerchair Football)
🌟 Erin Boothman (Cycling)
🌟 Irene Oboavwoduo (Basketball)
🌟 Isabella Rinaldi (Climbing)
🌟 Jack Long (Wheelchair Basketball)
🌟 Lily Laughton (Equestrian)
🌟 Ruby White (Boxing)
🌟 Samuel Reardon (Athletics)
🌟 Skye Fisher-Eames (Diving)
🌟 Summer Shaw (Judo)
The 10 athletes have been selected from around 1,000 rising British stars, supported by SportsAid, across more than 60 different sports during 2024. Each year, athletes are nominated by their sport’s governing body on the strength of their talent and potential, demonstrating why the One-to-Watch Award has gained such a strong reputation for identifying the best up-and-coming prospects.
The success of the One-to-Watch Award’s illustrious ‘Hall of Fame’ speaks for itself as previous victors, including Tom Daley OBE, Hollie Arnold MBE, Jodie Williams, Courtney Tulloch, Amber Rutter, Emma Wilson and Alex Yee MBE, have amassed 136 senior medals from Olympic and Paralympic Games, World Championships, European Championships and Commonwealth Games, firmly establishing themselves as household names in British sport.
Last year, track sensation Yemi Mary John was presented with the One-to-Watch Award by 400 metres legend Christine Ohuruogu MBE after an outstanding year which saw her claim gold in the 400m at the European Athletics Under-23s Championships and two senior relay medals at the World Athletics Championships. During the summer, Yemi Mary, who also featured in the top 10 in 2022, secured a bronze medal in the 4x400m Women’s Relay at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Cannot express how pleased I am to see this. So well deserved after so many years of hard work and returning from surgery and illness. Massive credit to Eilidh and everyone who has supported her
Promising Scottish rider Eilidh Shaw has signed a two-year contract with the UAE Development Team. For a rider who first took up cycling at the age of nine, this move felt like the realisation of a life-long dream 🤩

@British_Airways I’ve got a held booking but the online system won’t load my flight details to let me pay. Is this a system outage? And can I get my hold extended?
A coronation of a different kind - the first @ScottishCycling RACE National session at the brand new @WLcyclecircuit - thanks to @sportscotland Cycling Facilities Fund and all other funders for backing this project - an exciting new hub for cycling in central Scotland.
Great to see so many @ScottishCycling riders on the podium. Super chuffed to see Michael get this First Nations cup win. Mega to see his development over the past few years
At the double in Milton! 🇨🇦
Emphatic victories over Italy and Germany see both the men's and women's team pursuit teams bring home GOLD 🥇 on night one.
