Both the Olympic and Paralympic British Athletic WCP teams were named on Thursday. In this article, Stuart Weir writes about the ramifications of the program in 2020.

Paralympic World Class Program

British Athletics has confirmed that 48 athletes have been offered a place on the Paralympic World Class Program (WCP). There are two levels of membership of the WCP at Paralympic level with numbers for 2020-21 broken down as follows: Paralympic Podium (28) and Paralympic Podium Potential (18) (Guide Runners (2) are listed separately).

While no athletes have been added to the Olympic program this year, two para athletes have been offered a place for the first time, Karim Chan who won gold at the World Para Athletics Junior Championships in 2019, leaping a personal best of 6.70 metres on his way to the title and Harrison Walsh a F44 discus thrower
