A team of 78 has been selected to represent Great Britain and Northern Ireland at the World Athletics Championships Oregon22 from 15-24 July.

World champions Dina Asher-Smith and Katarina Johnson-Thompson have both been confirmed in the team, while Olympic silver medallists Keely Hodgkinson and Laura Muir will compete in the 800m and 1500m respectively.

Pole vaulter Holly Bradshaw and 1500m runner Josh Kerr, both of whom earned Olympic bronze in Tokyo last year, also feature on the team, so too does world 800m leader Max Burgin.

“We are taking a large team of 78 to Oregon with athletes competing across a number of disciplines which is really encouraging to see and is healthy for the sport overall,” said Olympic head coach Christian Malcolm. “I look forward to seeing how they all perform in America in a couple of weeks.”
