Oscar Kelly will line up on the start line in Paris alongside guide Charlie Harding for the Men’s PTVI race, in what is the pair’s Paralympic Games debut.
As part of his preparation for the Games Oscar has raced four times this year with Charlie as his guide at each race. The pair were silver medalists at World Triathlon Para Series Devonport to kick start the year and picked up another silver medal at World Triathlon Para Cup Yenisehir. The next two races saw the pair narrowly miss out on a podium place as they finished fourth in both Yokohama and Swansea.
After joining the talent squad in 2017, he made his international paratriathlon debut in 2021 and won a silver medal at World Triathlon Para Cup A Coruna. He became British Champion a month later before ending the year with back-to-back sixth place finishes in Valencia and Abu Dhabi.
The following season he was second at World Triathlon Para Series Montreal before finishing fifth for Team England at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham alongside guide Charlie. After a fourth-place finish at World Triathlon Para Series Swansea he returned to the international podium as he came third at World Triathlon Para Cup Alanya.
