Tom Bosworth - Speaker

Tom Bosworth, OBE, is a two-time Olympic racewalker and triple world record-holding athlete. He was Captain of England Athletics for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, where he secured a silver medal. In 2015, Tom became the first openly gay track and field athlete representing Team GB and has since campaigned for equality and inclusivity for the LGBTQ+ community. He is also a champion of mental well-being in sports following his battle with depression. 
Away from the track, Tom has appeared on broadcast channels such as Eurosport and the BBC, including as a guest commentator and as a guest on ITV’s The Celebrity Chase. In 2022, the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham marked Tom’s last international race appearance, and he crossed the line to a standing ovation from 27,000 people. Later that year, Sky Sports featured his marriage to his long-term partner Harry. Tom has vast experience speaking on his experiences and ways sport can improve to make a truly welcoming environment for all, having spoken to the Culture, Media and Sport parliamentary committee, met with the Chairman of the FA to discuss homophobia in football, addressed National Governing Bodies on behalf of Sport England and spoken at Wembley for Stonewall.
At Paris 2024, Tom worked at the Olympic Games as an athletics co-commentator for Eurosport, hosting TikTok’s official Olympic content, and at the Paralympic Games as a stadium announcer for CTV.
