Congratulations to Tokyo Paralympic Champion Charlotte Henshaw MBE has been shortlisted for the British Elite Athletes Association May Athletes’ Athlete of the month award.
In an athlete-decided competition that celebrates both sporting success and personal accomplishments, the nominees will be voted on by their peers currently and formerly on the World Class Programme.
Charlotte was nominated by a teammate after securing her ninth and tenth world title at the Para-canoe World Championships in Hungary. Following elbow surgery in September 2023, she won the women’s KL2 and VL3 finals as compatriot HopeGordon finished second in the latter event.
Charlotte has been shortlisted alongside Amber Anning from athletics, Ali Smith from para-athletics, and Jess Varley from modern pentathlon.
Current and former elite athletes can vote for their Athlete of the Month here, with the winner to be confirmed shortly.
Former elite athletes can get involved with more in the world of high-performance sport via the British Elite Athletes Alumni platform – which they can register for here!
