Athletics career

[edit]

Douglas won two consecutive British Outdoor Championships claiming gold in the 2004 AAA Championships and the 2005 AAA Championships.[2] His personal best is 17.64 m (57 ft10+14 in), set in 2005, the current British Championships record, ranks him third on the Great Britain all-time list. The following year he won a silver medal at the 2006 European Athletics ChampionshipsinGothenburg with a jump of 17.21 metres.[3]

In 2007 he won a silver medal at the European Indoor Athletics Championships in Birmingham with a jump of 17.47m, the second longest jump in the world at the time.

He suffered a major injury in 2007 and, although he managed to compete at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he struggled to find form as the injury had upset his technique.[4] The injury's severity and complications ultimately affected his chances of competing at the 2012 Olympic Games.

Douglas continued to compete taking part in World Championships, European Championships and the Commonwealth Games. Nathan was made team captain in 2016.

He went on to win a record eight British Championships including the 2016 British Athletics Championships and Olympic trials, and the 2018 British Athletics Championships. He won his last 16 years after his first, winning the triple jump at the 2020 British Athletics Championships.[5]

Nathan is the most medalled triple jumper in British Championship history with 22 medals, spanning over an international career of 22 years.
