University of London federation alumni shine at 2024 Paris Olympics

Current and former students from across the University of London federation competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics, with several athletes bringing home gold, silver and bronze medals for Team GB.

University of London Boat Club triumphs

Emily Craig, a member of the University of London Boat Club (ULBC) and History of Art graduate from the Courtauld Institute of Art, secured a gold medal in the Lightweight Women's Double Sculls. Emily rowed with her partner, Imogen Grant, from Cambridge University Boat Club, with the pair remaining unbeaten throughout the competition.

ULBC member Henry Fieldman made history by becoming the first person to win Olympic medals in both men's and women's events. As coxswain for the GB team in the Women's Eight, Henry guided the crew to a bronze medal.

Natalie Long, a ULBC alumna representing Team Ireland, showcased her skills in the Women's Four rowing team, finishing first in the B Final and helping Team Ireland place seventh overall in the Olympic Regatta.

Track and field excellence

King's College London was well-represented on the track, with current and former students delivering stellar performances. Dina Asher-Smith and Imani-Lara Lansiquot clinched silver medals in the Women's 4x100m relay and Laviai Nielsen, a former King's student, won two bronze medals: one in the Mixed 4x400m relay and another in the Women's 4x400m. In the latter event, she competed alongside her twin sister Lina Nielsen, an alumna of Queen Mary, University of London.

UCL also celebrated success on the track, with alumnus Toby Harries securing a bronze medal in the Men's 4x400m relay.

Congratulations to all University of London athletes!
