Icons of swimming, rowing, taekwondo, diving, and kayaking have already signed up with the full line-up to be announced on Friday. Double Olympic Medallist diver Noah Williams is “Really looking forward to a fun afternoon in Bristol and hearing people’s Paris memories.”
GB Women’s Eight Bronze Medal winners Hattie Taylor and Rowan McKellar spoke about the event on Instagram earlier this year, saying: “Whilst we are looking to make an impact on the water this summer, your help to make a huge social impact in land would be gratefully appreciated.”
This event is part of Bristol-based Legacy 300 One Sporting World’s athlete purpose project and is designed to help the GB Athletes to support local good causes, adding to the £640,000 already raised through hosting Athlete Experience days.
