Unreal!!
Such an honour to be presented @TeamSportsAid One-to-Watch runners up award by my coach and with training group. A great way to cap off what has been a great year. Can’t wait to see what 2025 brings!!
🥈 Athletics star Sam Reardon finishes runner-up in SportsAid’s One-to-Watch Award 2024 🥈
@NickHopeTV 🎥
Athletics star Sam Reardon has praised the unfaltering belief of those around him after finishing as runner-up for SportsAid's illustrious One-to-Watch Award. The 21-year-old, from Beckenham in Kent, soared to double Olympic bronze this summer as part of the mixed 4x400m and men's 4x400m relay squads in Paris following a remarkable journey to the Games.
Sam was sat at home watching the Opening Ceremony before a late call-up saw him replace team-mate Charlie Carvell after he withdrew through injury. Having overcome his initial disappointment of missing out on a maiden Olympics due to sustaining a hamstring tear on a training camp in South Africa earlier in the year, Sam bounced back in style to stand on the podium not just once….but twice.
Sam, who has been supported by SportsAid over the last two years, saw his incredible achievements further recognised as he was surprised with the runner-up plaque by his coach Nigel Stickings during a training session with his Blackheath and Bromley Harriers Athletics Club team-mates at the Norman Park Community Sports Centre.
The annual One-to-Watch Award, supported by Aldi, the charity’s Official Supermarket Partner, celebrates Britain’s brightest young sporting prospects and has been running since 2006 with previous winners including Olympic champions Tom Daley and Alex Yee and Paralympic gold medallist Hollie Arnold. Sam had initially been shortlisted in the top 10 athletes, selected from around 1,000 rising stars, supported by SportsAid, across more than 60 different sports in 2024.
"The amount of athletes that SportsAid support is massive and even to be nominated in the top 10 was huge,” said Sam. “To finish runner-up is a really amazing feeling and makes you feel like you have been noticed for what you've done this year which is nice. SportsAid has been a massive help and having someone say ‘we believe in you’ is so, so important. I think SportsAid do God’s work to help the young athletes of Britain get to where they want to be. I wouldn’t be here without them.”

A bit different, and a bit fun. What a way to end the off season and start the winter build up, for what will be a very busy 2025!
“This has been so much fun. I dipped under 39 minutes so I'm really happy. Don't worry though, I'll still be doing the 400m next year!”
