Mo Farah heads UK Team to Euro 2012<\/p><\/div>\n

UKA have today announced a squad of 109 athletes from which the Aviva Great Britain and Northern Ireland Team will be finally selected to compete in Helsinki, Finland at the European Athletics Championships.<\/p>\n

The squad will be reduced in size following this weekend\u2019s Aviva 2012 Trials, at which point, any track athletes already having gained automatic qualification for Team GB will be de-selected in order to focus on their preparations for the Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

Field event athletes however, will be permitted to compete in Helsinki should the additional competition opportunity benefit their overall build up.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s European Championships marks the first ever event to take place during an Olympic year, following the decision by European Athletics to take the competition into a biennial cycle from 2012 onwards. The final Aviva GB & NI team for the event, which takes place Wednesday 27 June \u2013 Sunday 1 July, will be confirmed on the morning of Monday 25 June \u2013 after the conclusion of the Aviva 2012 Trials.<\/p>\n
