The 25-year-old from Sevenoaks narrowly missed the podium at Paris 2024, jumping 6.83m, just shy of a medal. Skinner had previously finished in the same position at the Tokyo Paralympics, as Azerbaijan’s Orkhan Aslanov retained his title. “It’s tough, I’ve been here before,” Skinner said. “It happened in Tokyo, so at least I’m consistent.

Oli Hawkins made an unexpectedly swift return on Saturday to fill a defensive gap for Gillingham, much to the delight of manager Mark Bonner. The 32-year-old Hawkins, who played with a cast to protect his broken wrist, stepped up despite advice against playing due to a shortage of defensive options for the match at Doncaster.
