Elliot Levi Giles (born 26 May 1994) is an English middle-distance runner from Birmingham, specialising in the 800 metres.[3] He is best known for winning the bronze at the 2016 European Championships.

Career

[edit]

In August 2014, he had a serious motorcycle accident which prevented him from competing for two years.[4]

His breakthrough year was 2016 when he became British champion over the distance, and was selected for the senior GB team for the first time at the European Athletics Championships where he won a surprise bronze medal. His new personal best of 1:45.54, set in the final, qualified him for the 2016 Summer Olympics. In Rio de Janeiro, however, he only managed seventh place in his heat which was not good enough for a place in the semifinals. In February 2021, he set a new British record for the 800 metres indoors, at the World Indoor Tour event in Torun, Poland.[5] This record had stood since March 1983, when it was set by Seb Coe.

Having initially missed out on selection for the 2024 Summer Olympics, Giles was called-up as a late replacement for the injured Jake Wightman.[6][7]

One thought on “Cannabaceae”

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
