Former European medalists Darren Campbell and Ashley Nelson joined the Birmingham 2026 team at the Alexander Stadium to reflect on their careers and share their excitement about hosting the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham.
In 1998, Darren Campbell, the European champion in 100 meters, said: “I’ve spent most of my career looking straight at home and it’s a place where dreams can be made or crushed in the blink of an eye. You can’t get any closer to the action, and it’s fantastic that these seats have been freed up, giving even more fans the chance to be attracted at home.
“Competing in front of a home crowd is something I know the Novuna GB & NI athletes will thrive on. With the crowd riding them, it promises to be a really exciting event and I’m really looking forward to seeing the best athletes in Europe compete at the Alexander Stadium.”
2014 European 4x100m champion Ashley Nelson added: “It’s fantastic that the European Athletics Championships are coming to Birmingham.
“The athletes and fans will be incredibly excited about the championships at the Alexander Stadium and winning a medal at the European Championships, I know what an honor it is to take part in such a great event.
