57 Accredited Coaches Recognised in 2024 Olympics Team
The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) has announced the selection of an additional 55 track and field athletes to the Australian Olympic Team in Paris, adding to the 20 selected earlier this year for an overall 75-member Athletics squad. The announcement included the recognition of 57 Accredited Athletics Coaches, who have been nominated as personal coaches of the qualified athletes.
The 75-strong Athletics team is our second largest ever behind Sydney 2000 and largest sent away to a Games. Australians will contest 39 of the 48 Athletics events in Paris, again second only in our Olympic history to the Sydney 2000 home squad.
Athletics Australia CEO Peter Bromley celebrated the finalisation of the Athletics squad for Paris
“It is an incredibly proud moment to announce any Australian team, but to see one of Australia’s largest and strongest teams heading to the Olympics is something else,” he said.
“With six athletes who medalled at last year’s World Athletics Championships and three medallists from the Tokyo Olympic Games, our team exemplifies the strength and depth of Australian athletics. We’re excited to see our athletes test their skills against the best in the world at the pinnacle event.”
