    Records

    Amber Anning's trophy cabinet is already impressive for a 25-year-old. She has two Olympic bronze medals from a single Games, a world indoor title, and a world outdoor relay bronze. Her British record of 49.29 seconds in the 400 metres puts her among the fastest women in the world, and her 48.81-second relay split is a national record. She has also claimed a championship record at the UK Athletics Championships. What stands out is her consistency: she has medalled at every major senior championship she has contested, from the World Championships to the Olympics. Her early-season form in 2026 suggests she is peaking at the right time for the Commonwealth Games.
