David King (hurdler)

David King (born 13 June 1994) is an English Olympic athlete specialising in the high hurdles.

He represented Team GB at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics reaching the semi-finals.

He then reached the finals of the 2023 European Athletics Indoor Championships in Istanbul where he finished 7th.

In the semi-finals, King and Japanese athlete, Shusei Nomoto, tied for the final non-automatic qualifying position with a time of 7.565.

As there were no additional lanes available, a drawing of lots took place which saw King advance to the final as a result of his race bib labelled "King" being randomly drawn from a bag.
