🇬🇮✨ Charlotte Peat is getting ready to race the 100m at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham on Monday!

Charlotte’s coach Jerai Torres can’t be in Birmingham, so she is supported on location by Joslyn Hoyte-Smith, Team Manager and GIS Sports Director and Charlotte’s family. Joslyn first met Charlotte during her school placement with GIS, and we’ve been proudly following her progress ever since. ❤️

Charlotte had a little message from Birmingham too:

💬 “I’m so grateful to be in Birmingham for my first international competition at the Europeans. I’m so grateful for the support that’s been given to me by my coach Jerai, and Joslyn, whom I met in placement, and now two years later, she is here with me. I’m so honoured to have been given this opportunity, and I can’t wait to race on Monday.”

Good luck, Charlotte! 🇬🇮🏃‍♀️ We’ll be cheering you on!

Raising Champions 🏆

What’s it like parenting not one—but two—top-level athletes?

We spoke with the mum of GIS ambassador Ella Rush (GB heptathlete) and her brother Johnny Rush (Gibraltar U21 footballer) about cross-country road trips, thermos dinners, international medals, the joys, challenges, sacrifices, and surprising moments of life on the sidelines.

This is the story of a family built on passion, resilience, and support. ❤️ 🇬🇮
