The I Am Team GB campaign has launched to harness the stories of Team GB athletes in Tokyo to encourage adults and children across the UK to get active.
The ‘Festival of Sport’ will see free and fun events held around the country across the weekend of Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 August. These include free hero activities at the Olympic Stadium in London, the Stadium of Light in Sunderland and the University of Hull. There will also be a family fun day at Paulton Park.
More than one million people in the UK took part in the mass participation event after the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and also welcomed home the country’s history-making athletes at their local sports clubs and community events.
“I Am Team GB represents a great opportunity for me, as a Team GB Olympian, to give back to the community that has done so much to support me on my journey as an athlete, and hopefully play a role in inspiring more people to get active, play Olympic sport and live healthier lifestyles,” said Team GB Olympian, Beth Tweddle.
