Rising British sprint star Louie Hinchliffe achieves his dream of making the Paris 2024 Olympics with the help of athletics icon Carl Lewis.
After watching her son claim his latest sensational victory, this time to secure a place in the Olympic 100m at Paris 2024 as the British champion, Louie Hinchliffe's mother paid tribute to the relationship at the heart of the 21-year-old's rapid rise to prominence.These increasingly significant achievements, and the attention that accompanies them, are all as new to his family as they are to Louie himself.
"When I first heard from him last year, I looked at a video of him and I saw the mistakes he was making. In achieving success at the prestigious NCAA Championships - one year after finishing last in the semi-finals - he ran 9.95secs, his first legal sub-10, placing him sixth on the British all-time list while also making him the unexpected favourite for Paris qualification.
"He'll make jokes and he'll also be hard on you when something isn't right. He keeps me on the right track."
