Millfield School at the Olympic Games



As Tokyo 2020 gets into full swing, leading sports school, Millfield School in Somerset has the highest number of Olympians attending the games in its history
So far, 13 athletes and one coach are in Toyko to compete for their countries. Nine athletes will be part of Team GB, one will be competing for Kenya, one for Brunei, one for Hong Kong and one for Denmark. The school had nine alumni in the London 2012 Olympics and 10 in 2016 at Rio including two coaches.

In swimming, James Guy won gold on 28th July in the men?s swimming  4 x 200 relay, while Kieran Bird, Brodie Williams, Muis Ahmad, Suzanna Hext (paralympics) and Danilo Rosafio have been selected for their respective countries, which is the largest number of swimmers the school has ever seen at an Olympic Games. Millfield?s Director of Swimming and former Olympian who also attended Millfield as a student, Euan Dale, will join Team GB as a coach in Tokyo.
Joining the swimmers will be Helen Glover and Rory Gibbs competing on the water for the GB rowing Team. Helen stepped away from rowing to have her three children and is making a comeback as the first mother to compete for the GB rowing team. Oscar Coggins is representing the Hong Kong triathlon team, Jaz Sawyers for the GB athletics team in long jump and both Alec Coombes and Ollie Lindsay-Hague have been selected for the GB rugby sevens team.
