Victory in Paris for @bethanyshriever and @rosscullenn 🥇🥇

The brand new Olympic course delivered big time 🙌 @BritishCycling

At the double in Paris! 🇫🇷 🥇

Beth Shriever and Ross Cullen both bagged top spot on the podium at the BMX test event held on the Olympic Games track in St Quentin en Yvelines over the weekend 🙌

Emily Hutt put in a great performance to finish ninth in a combined elite/U23 field, while Paddy Sharrock qualified for the men’s final and finished a very respectable fifth. Kye Whyte was showing great form but ended up in a crash on Saturday, ruling him out of Sunday’s racing.

Great experience for the squad and staff ahead of #Paris2024, and a trip to the USA 🇺🇸 for world cup rounds and the world championships!

Congratulations Yemi, well deserved!🙌🏽

🏆 Athletics star Yemi Mary John crowned winner of SportsAid's One-to-Watch Award 2023 🏆

@NickHopeTV 🎥

Track sensation Yemi Mary John, 20, from Woodford in Essex, has been named as the winner of SportsAid’s prestigious One-to-Watch Award for 2023!

Yemi Mary received the annual Award, supported by Royal Bank of Canada, after an outstanding year which saw her claim gold in the 400m at the European Athletics U23 Championships and two senior relay medals at the World Athletics Championships.

Yemi Mary, who also featured in the top 10 last year having won gold at the World Athletics U20s Championships in 2022, was presented with the Award by 400 metres legend Christine Ohuruogu MBE at Lee Valley Athletics Centre on Monday (18 December). She edged out para cyclist Archie Atkinson, 19, and BMX rider Freia Challis, 15, as they finished in second and third positions respectively.

“It's a really good feeling and it's great to have had this season's achievements recognised!” said Yemi Mary shortly after being presented with the Award. “They caught me off-guard with my Award which was a lovely surprise. Christine has done amazing things, not only in the sport as a whole but in the 400 specifically, so just to have her recognise me and be able to be in a room with such great and successful people is exciting. I appreciated her being there for it.

“I feel like it sets me up for a great trajectory of success and hopefully I will follow in the footsteps of those before [who have won the One-to-Watch Award]. I feel like I'm already on the radar especially because of my first senior season, not only just competing but coming away with medals. The targets I had for the season were hit in the senior field and it solidified my position there and hopefully I can now go further next year.”

Yemi Mary, who dabbled in many sports from gymnastics to MMA when growing up, only started properly competing on the track in 2019. The University of Southern California student has been supported by SportsAid for the last two years and is now determined to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games having made such an impression on the world stage at senior level in 2023.

[SportsAid @TeamSportsAid]

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 Royal Bank of Canada, was launched in 2006 and looks to shine 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.

🌟 Alice Casburn (Equestrian)
🌟 Amelie Tsang (Fencing)
🌟 Archie Atkinson (Para Cycling)
🌟 Freia Challis (BMX)
🌟 Greta Roeser (Canoeing)
🌟 Isabella Brown (Weightlifting)
🌟 Jonah Bryant (Squash)
🌟 Kris Kim (Golf)
🌟 Madeline Down (Para Athletics)
🌟 Yemi Mary John (Athletics)

The 10 athletes have been selected from around 1,000 rising British stars, supported by SportsAid, across more than 60 different sports during 2023. 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, Morgan Lake, Emma Wilson and Alex Yee MBE, have already amassed over 50 senior medals from Olympic and Paralympic Games, World and European Championships, as well as Commonwealth Games, firmly establishing themselves as household names in British sport.

Last year, powerlifter Mark Swan was presented with the One-to-Watch Award by para swimming superstar Ellie Challis, who received the accolade herself in 2019, having claimed gold in the men’s -65kg category at the European Open Para Powerlifting Championships, followed by silver for Team England in the men’s lightweight category at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
