A medical graduate from the University of Plymouth has been selected to compete at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Kerenza Bryson has been confirmed as one of just two British athletes to compete for Team GB in the women’s modern pentathlon – a sport consisting of fencing, freestyle swimming, equestrian show jumping, running and pistol shooting.

Kerenza balanced her medical studies with professional sport throughout her time at university, but after graduating in 2023, she relocated to Bath to join the Pentathlon GB World Class Performance programme. After securing her first individual World Cup medal with a gold in Sofia in May 2023, she won her second senior medal with a bronze at the World Championships on home soil in Bath last summer, and with it gained her Paris 2024 Olympic Qualification.

After a thrilling 2023–24 season, which has seen her secure a further two World Cup medals and rise to the top of the Olympic Rankings, she has now been confirmed as part of the Team GB squad for the Paris Olympic Games in a few weeks.
