Back to full fitness after an uninterrupted winter, Pattison, the second-fastest British 800m runner in history, is desperate to clinch more major silverware on home soil this summer.

The 24-year-old announced himself on the global stage by claiming a surprise 800m bronze in his first world final in Budapest in 2023, and moved behind only Sebastian Coe on the British all-time list the following season.

But, after illness disrupted his Olympic preparations and his 2025 plans were ruined by a stress fracture, Pattison is targeting European and Commonwealth medals in Birmingham and Glasgow respectively.

Speaking to BBC Sport before competing in China, Pattison said: “The plan is to do both and my goal is to get two medals. It’s been three years now since I’ve got a medal at a major championship, so I feel like it’s been far too long.

“I was asked at the world indoors: ‘Do you feel like you need to get a medal again?’ And I was thinking, hang on, I’m still quite young – but it does almost feel like that.

“I don’t like the fact that people still reference Budapest. That was good, and if you had told me when I was younger that I’d retire with a world and a Commonwealth bronze medal, I’d have definitely taken that.

“But to achieve that by the age of 21, I’d like to think by the end of my career I’ll definitely be able to get more medals – and that’s what really gets me going.”
