He has had a fantastic year, competing in Spain, Germany, and Canada to name a few.
“With selection for the LA 2028 Paralympics just around the corner, this puts Ollie in a strong position to make the team in two years’ time!”
Ollie will now be hoping to be the next in a long line of students and alumni who have represented Loughborough College Group in the Paralympic Games, following in the footsteps of medallists Will Ellard, Dave Ellis, and Sophie Hahn.
