Jake Wightman sees the 800m as a prime opportunity, not just a fallback, as he gears up for the Paris Olympics. With his sights set firmly on success, he’s determined to make a significant impact in this event.
Most of Jake Wightman’s medal wins have been in the 1500m, including his gold at the 2022 World Championships. He also earned a silver in the 800m at the 2022 European Championships.
“I’ve run well in the 800m before, but my focus has always been on the 1500m,” he told BBC Scotland. “I’ve wanted to compete in both events, but with the high level of British Athletics, it’s tough to secure a spot in even one.”
