Athletes
Loughborough University has seen some of the finest athletes and sportspeople study and train on campus. Notable Olympians and Paralympians include gold medallists Sebastian Coe and Tanni Grey-Thompson.
- 48 of our athletes, past and present, competed at the 2008 Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games
- 19 reached finals, breaking 15 national and 2 European records, gaining a silver and bronze medal
- At the recent 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games 80 athletes competed, with 44 of them winning medals
- If the University was a country, it would have contributed to 33 distinct Commonwealth medals - the same number as South Africa and the 8th highest medal total in the overall table
