REIGNING world heptathlon champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Olympic 800m silver medallist Keely Hodgkinson have been named in a 70-strong Great Britain squad for next month’s European Championships in Rome, it was announced today.

The group travelling to Italy for the meet also includes 2023 world 400m silver medallist Matthew Hudson-Smith and world 100m bronze medallist Zharnel Hughes.

Hughes, who last year smashed a pair of British records in the 100m and 200m which had stood for 30 years, is eligible for a 200m wildcard but has elected to focus on the shorter distance in Italy.
