OLYMPIC DREAMS ON HOLD

Aaron Heading

On 24 March Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and Shinzo Abe, the Prime Minister of Japan, released a joint statement. For the first time since World War Two, the Olympics would be delayed. For sports fans across the globe this came as unfortunate yet understandable news. But what about the athletes? Those who have spent their entire lives dreaming of representing their country on the world’s greatest stage?

Trap superstar Aaron Heading is one of those athletes. Throughout his career Aaron has amassed a wealth of European Championship, World Championship and Commonwealth Games medals, including two gold medals from the 2010 and 2017 Games in Delhi and The Gold Coast respectively. However Tokyo 2020 was set to be his first Olympics. “I got into Team GB by the skin of my teeth,” explains Aaron. “I had narrowly missed out on securing a quota place at a number of events throughout 2019, my last chance was at the European Championships in Lonato, Italy.”
