Ben East heads to his first Commonwealth Games, looking to continue the season of his life.
East joined the 80m club in May 2026, before further extending his PB to 80.49m in June.
It was perfect preparation as he claimed his second British title and underlined his credentials ahead of a big summer of competition.
East first claimed the British title in 2023, a year after representing Great Britain at the 2022 Under-20 World Championships.
He now makes the step up to senior level and will look to take this season’s form up to Glasgow with him.
Away from sport, he studies mechanical engineering at Loughborough University.
