Ben Pattison is keeping a well-trained eye on the opposition after starting his 800m campaign at the Stade de France. Last year Pattison arrived in Budapest ranked 16th in the world, only to win world bronze, the first British man to claim a global medal over two laps since Peter Elliott in 1987. It means he is no longer able to fly under the radar, ranked fifth in the world this season after a 1:42.27 personal best at the Diamond League in Monaco.

'I need to just stay on my toes. I feel like I proved that last year, to be wary of people like me last year, probably coming in a bit under the radar in good shape.' Last year Pattison revealed he'd undergone life-saving surgery in 2021, after his heart rate had skyrocketed to 250 beats per minute.
