#33: European gold has Charlie Carvell dreaming of Commonwealth Games

The England Athletics Podcast

England Athletics has launched its 'Journey to 2022' campaign to celebrate a wide range of individuals in the sport ahead of next summer's Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. In this episode, you will hear from a teenage runner dreaming of a place in the team, and his Midlands club which is hoping to benefit from the Games. Telford Athletics Club's Charlie Carvell fell off his bike and broke his arm during lockdown, which prompted him to take athletics more seriously. The 17-year-old won European junior 4x400m relay gold in his first competition abroad. You'll also hear from Gary Shaughnessy, the new Chair of England Athletics on his background in community sport, his quest to raise awareness of Parkinsons, and his vision for track and field.
