Iwan Thomas MBE is one of the finest 400m runners that Britain has ever seen and he is a former European, Commonwealth and World Champion and current British Record Holder.

He was a late starter to the world of Athletics, preferring to concentrate on BMX bike riding (ranked fourth in Europe) than to run one lap of the track. He started his athletics career in 1992 when he represented the British 4 x 400m relay team at the World Junior Championships.

In 1993 whilst studying for a Sports Management Degree, Iwan juggled his studies and training, making excellent progress every year setting 9 Welsh 400m records in the process. He was rewarded for his superb form and was picked to represent the British 4 x 400m relay team in 1995 at the European Cup which they won. At the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996 at the age of 22, he came 5th in the final of the 400m and won a silver medal in the 4 x 400m relay.
