STEF REID WITHDRAWS FROM WORLD PARA ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIPS DUE TO INJURY

British Athletics can confirm that Stef Reid (coach: Aston Moore; club: Charnwood) has withdrawn from the British squad for the World Para Athletics Championships in Dubai due to an ankle injury.

Reid won the world championship title in the T44 long jump at the London Stadium two years ago having won silver at the Paralympic Games in Rio.

On her withdrawal from the T64 long jump, Stef Reid commented: “It’s hard to do the work and not get the chance to perform. Unfortunately, sport has some difficult moments. But it’s not helpful to dwell on them too long so my focus will now shift to Tokyo. I have a fantastic team and I am looking forward to doing it all again next season!”
