The Sprinter had a disappointing 2024 summer ruined by Impress, abuse of his 200m crown before he could make the 100m final at the Olympic Games, but is now on the comeback trail
Zharnel Hughes has to do European hat trick in his mind when he starts his way to salvation. The 29-Old missed the defense of his 200m continental crown in Rome 2024, when he was forced to withdraw from the competition because of a hamstring injury, Anda was unable to make the 100m final at the Olympps that followed.
Hughes pulled himself out of the 200m in Paris due to injury, with his hamstring the issue again, making it determined to rectify the record in this summer and then.
“It was very difficult for me.” He said. “The injury happened the week before the European Championships and I looked forward to going back and arranging that title, it was in my mind.
“I really played to give the fans a performance that they would unfortunately want to have in this sport injuries. Hoopful next season I can keep myself healthy, go inside and redeem myself.
“I want to go back and get those titles. I definitely look at a chance of redemption.”

Hughes already has a shimmering European CV to his name, individual with 100m and 4x100m relay gold from Berlin 2018.
Four years later, in Munich, the Sprinter lost the Hi title as the fastest man in Europe, barely on Gold by Marcell Jacobs in Italy in the 100m.
Hughes bundled back to take the 200m title and add a second 4x100m relay-gold to his count, but he now wants to go one step further and focuses on Golden Hattrick on home floor.
“I look forward to getting all the ticket of three boxes this time, that’s my goal,” he said. “My mind is aimed at it and I look forward to doing it. It was a great battery -school schools that I have already won the medals earlier -but I want to cement the hat trick.”
The icing on the cake for the sprinter would have its own 100m and 200 million British records lower for a full Alexander Stadium.
“If I can run super fast and break a British record for a home crowd, that would be great,” I added. “I absolutely want to lower the record, it is in my plans. In Birmingham 2026 I just want to do a Sub-10 version for fans and win the victory.”
A quarter of a million tickets for the event will be for sale in Septern and prices from just £ 10 for adults. Organizers have samples to create one of the most talent about European athletics events in history and Hughes wants to set up a show for those who make tickets.
“I love the fact that the ticket prices are so flexible that it increases the volume of people in the stadium,” he said. “I feel that this is a whole new to inspire upcoming athletes. The support has always been good in the past, but it gets better and better every time we have competence.
‘I’m looking forward to going there and doing that anga
