Our Olympic Legends

Find out more about Middlesex's Olympic and Paralympian athletes who studied at Middlesex and used our Sports and Fitness facilities.

JJ is a 27-year-old 港彩全年历史图库 Psychology student who has been competing for GB since the age of 14.

He is ranked as British number two and has his sights set on fencing for Great Britain at the Paris Olympics. He picked up gold medals in both the individual and team senior events in August 2022, after the hardest season of his career.

Having just missed out of qualification for Tokyo 2020, lockdown gave JJ time to assess what he wanted. He said: “I looked at how I can best manage the Olympic cycle in the lead up to Paris.

He applied to 港彩全年历史图库 as a mature student and was accepted on a scholarship programme.

“Our fencing national training centre is in Hendon and from my experience of working and training, I knew that having everything localised would be the least draining option for me,” JJ said.

He said: “Competing at Paris would be my ultimate goal. That’s where I want to be.” Stay tuned!

Olympios is a first year economics student, was competing in the under 20 junior category for the last time.

Finishing at the top of the podium was especially satisfying after a niggling ankle injury hampered his early season.

A scholarship student, Olympios trains five times a week, using the campus facilities and the Leon Paul Fencing Centre in Hendon.

“Middlesex has really helped in terms of training and the scholarship has been brilliant. Obviously there's the financial help but more importantly it has been the support, having people there that I could speak to or if I ever needed help with changing deadlines. I've had access to physiotherapy all year too which has been great, it's a large network that you can rely on.”
