Iwan Thomas MBE BSc (Hons) Director

Iwan Thomas is one of the finest 400m runners that Britain has produced and is current British Record Holder as well as being a former European and Commonwealth champion, and World Cup Winner.

He entered the international athletics scene in 1992 representing Britain in the 4x400m relay team at the World Junior Championships, and after setting 9 Welsh 400m records was selected for the British 400m relay team that won Gold at the European Cup in 1995.

At the age of just 22, Iwan was selected for the Olympic Games in Atlanta where he came 5th in the individual 400m and won a Silver medal in the 4x400m relay. Further Gold and Silver medals at the European Cup and World Championships respectively, were topped in 1998 with Grand Prix victories, 2 Gold medals at the European Championships in Budapest, World Cup Champion in South Africa and culminating in becoming Commonwealth Champion in Kuala Lumpar.

Iwan is keen to utilise his success in the sport of athletics to enhance the lives of local children and help them achieve their own goals. Sprint-start is the beginning of his future as he slows down his athletics career.
