Tom Bosworth

Bosworth qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics[3] after coming second at the 2021 British Athletics Marathon and 20km Walk Trial.

[4] Bosworth was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2024 New Year Honours for services to race walking.

Championing LGBT rights and mental health in sport alongside his athletic career, Bosworth has spoken openly about both.

[8] In the interview he explained that his family, friends and fellow sports athletes had known that he was gay for a number of years, and the coming out was to a wider audience to answer lingering questions from fans and to be himself.

Alongside media appearances, he now also regularly visits schools and universities, to talk about his experiences as a professional athlete, LGBT equality, the importance of mental health and how sport can be of great benefit.
