Junior European medalling wrestler George Ramm was yesterday named as Team England Athlete Ambassador for Gold Coast 2018.

The Athlete Ambassador programme was announced to support athletes on journey to Gold Coast.  Commonwealth Games England’s President Denise Lewis leads the programme which helps prepare athletes for Commonwealth Games 2018.

Junior European Bronze Medallist wrestler George Ramm was announced as a key member of the Team England Athlete Ambassador programme, which will see Commonwealth Games England (CGE) work closely with 30 English athletes in the build-up to the Gold Coast Games.

Denise Lewis will work with Ambassadors from a range of Commonwealth sports.
Denise Lewis, former Olympic, European and Commonwealth champion, said “We are delighted to have a great selection of some of England’s greatest, and most promising, athletes involved in the Team England Athlete Ambassador programme. We will work with them and their sports to raise the profile of Team England and create excitement for the nation ahead of the 2018 Games.”

“George is a real gem and a fantastic athlete. His experience will also be vital in helping Team England prepare for the Gold Coast Games in just over 500 days’ time.”

The Team England Athlete Ambassador programme was unveiled at Commonwealth Games England’s Annual General Meeting in London today, also attended by Jem Lawson, British Wrestling Chair and Colin Nicholson, Chief Executive.
