Go, Team GB!

The Tokyo Olympics are finally kicking off

The Olympic Games are commencing on 23 July, and we can’t wait to support Team GB! The games were originally due to be held in Tokyo in the summer of 2020, but like everything else in the world, it was cancelled.

Diver Tom Daley, 27, will have his sights set on gold after winning bronze at the past two Olympics. Also part of Team

GB’S diving squad is Andrea Spendolini-sirieix, daughter of First Dates’ Fred Sirieix.

At just 16, she is the youngest member of the team and will definitely be one to watch, having been named BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year 2020.

Other familiar names to keep an eye on include Dina

Asher-smith, 25, who will be competing in the 100m sprint, and world champion heptathlete Katarina Johnsonthompson, 28, who will be taking part in the seven-event category.

There are some new faces, too, such as 19-year-old Max Burgin, who’ll be running the 800m. He broke the British junior record at just 17. And there’s Stoke long jumper Jazmin Sawyers, 27, who is tipped for success. Bring on the gold medals!
