- Picture this: I am in a tent on my own in the Swiss Alps having come to terms that my Olympic journey is over, my family have gone home and I am getting fit for the Diamond league final - keeping myself focused. And then out of the blue I get a phone call from the head of endurance at British Athletics!
I'm going to the Olympics.
Here is the unfiltered few hours after that call I hope I make SOME sense.

Go for it. There is not just one way of doing things. Rooting for you!
You’ve got nothing to lose mate, just go for it. 1500 strength training might come in handy for latter rounds.
I'm an American fan of yours and am so
very happy for you . Congrats and good luck!
You have to remember that you are actually way mentally tougher then them. They haven’t had to deal with all the stress you have or the same adversity. You have pushed through it all and you are going to go crush it!!!! Let’s go Elliot!!!!
"ya stayed ready ...so you ain't got ta get ready!" Go nail it mate. Opportunity knocks!! 🤛💪🙌
Elliot, amazing! You're such an inspiration as an athlete and in your commitment to your passion. It's SUCH FANTASTIC news that you're going to the Olympics! It's darn well deserved!! I'm in Paris and we're waiting for you!!! 🤩🤩💪💪
God bless you Elliot. So happy for you 🎉
That’s crazy El. So happy you’re going to Paris! We all know you’ll do your best. Good luck.
thoroughly enjoyed this....just the injection of positive energy I need.....you will suprise yourself young man....go,go go!!!
Happy for you, good luck Elliot!
This is beauty of life. All the best mate!
Terrific video. This sport is a total rollercoaster. Great heat run and every best wish for what lies ahead.
I'm so pleased for you. When I heard about Jake pulling out I was hoping you'd get the call but, wow! Talk about last minute! Good luck 🤞🍀. We're all routing for you
I am inspired by your words and determination. Thank You!
So pleased for you. Thanks for sharing your ups and downs like this. Try not to overthink it all and just focus on that heat of the Olympics!
You deserve it. This restores my faith in running.
wow don’t even have words, so inspiring! So happy for you, go get it 🔥🔥
This is like a soap opera. Talk about drama!!! 😄 Wish you all the best. God is with you. Hard work always pays off.
That endurance will see you through the heats. Best of luck mate💪💪
I remember watching your video about not making it a couple weeks ago and then this video popped up. This is what life's all about, overcoming challenges and never giving up. Go for it Elliot!
Good luck , I've been following you all the way and soo pleased you're going to the Olympics . I'll be cheering you on . GO Giles !!!
Grab the Ace and go for it. Every round will work for you. Keep the videos going, real life of an athlete.
What a story!! Go get it mate!! Backing you 🚀
CONGRATS! You got this. Have fun and love the ride! I'll be cheering you on (but for my Americans, ha!). Bon chance and have fun!!!! So glad you're getting this shot!
holy moly ! as 'crazy' goes ,this is right up there
Yes yes yes yes yes yes happy for you mate congratulations
Increasing MCT4 lactate transporter is a very fast adaptation. Good luck.
Best of luck, you’re meant to be there. Get out there and show your hard work. God bless
Congratulations man, your story is inspiring especially for me who's an 800m athlete from Namibia with aspirations of making it to the Olympics.
You got this bro!!! There's no pressure on you. Go crush it
congrats! cool to see your raw reaction
Well in son, go for it. Seize the moment, and hopefully it helps keep you in the sport. Athletics is such a tough sport when it near enough revolves around one event every 4 years
Good luck buddy, do your best and leave everything out there. No matter on the result, you’ll know you’ve done your best. 🤞🏻 you win or get amongst the medals 🥇
Excited for you.
Wow, this is exciting news Giles!!
So good of you to share this, go well and enjoy - without that there is no value
SO HAPPY FOR YOU
Good luck Elliot, you deserve the chance. Just give it everything!
amazing video. You’ve got it, you’re an inspiration. The montage at the end was a reminder of all you’ve been through just this season. You got it giles.
So happy for you!
Think of everything you’ve been through this cycle and use it as fuel.. good luck we’ll be watching and cheering you on 🫡
As you said, play the cards you have been dealt….cant wait to watch the 800m rounds 👏🏻👏🏻
So happy for you!!!! You got “your” spot! Let’s gooooo ✨✨✨🔥🔥🔥🔥

You got this 🔥🔥
Happy for ya‼️😉
You got this
Go get it Giles!!! Show them what you're made of mate!!
Great video. You’ve just received the call and you’ve recorded your head being all over the place. Exactly what would happen to anyone with a last minute unexpected call to………..
The Olympics!!!

Go smash it Elliot!
So pleased to see/hear this. Go outwit them! 💪
This is already a beautiful journey. You are a 2924 Olympian! Your last month has been epic!🎉❤🎉
It was the first thing I thought of when I saw Jake was out. Delighted for you! 🎉

The DS (directeur sportif) of the paris-Roubaix 2001 team USPS with George hincappe bike race said:
There is too many people in the front eh.
It's not possible, eh?
That we have a guy, one of the favorites of the race, and you leave him alone there, eh?
C'mon you have to go on, and we have to come back!
Amazing news, I hope you achieve your goals
Excellent news, hope you get the tent sorted out.
come on elliot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brother, you have got this, you wouldnt be selected if you werent that good how you are now!
Imagine the story it would be if you could medal after what you've been through. Go for it mate!
You're totally ready!! Get it!
Mate go for it lad so happy for you
Good luck Elliot 👍🙏
nice one mate, smashing attitude!
This is fantastic. Just do the thing
❤❤❤ you’ve got this and we’ve got you ……go get it
So excited for you!!!
Amazing Elliot! 👏🙌💪
looks like you've made the semis... :) :)
Good luck Elliot
Hopefully you’ll make semi at first attempt but the good news with repochage means with you high mileage during this period you’ll be a lot stronger for back to back 800m races than all the others and get into pace shape doing the rounds
Bros gonna medal
This is the stuff dreams are made of!
Go time!!! Big Time!!
Best of luck 🤞
Sounds like there hasn’t been good communication between UK athletics and these two athletes. Shocker.
Go for it Elliot!
amazing opportunity!
Crack on then...and good luck
Happy for u. Deserved.
Gwon Elliot
best of luck
Fantastic News 👍
Amazing!!!
Go smash it 💪
Gassed, unreal ❤
some people you gotta put on 2x to make it tolerable. that would not be possible with this bloke. really packs in the words he does.
Let’s goooo my bro 💙👊🏽
Just do what u can
jake wightman is such a G great guy
great for you unfortnate for jake I think he could have mixed it up in the medals and running seb coes british record
bet you run now better than before trials because mentally you ain´t that strained
lets gooooo!!!!
Go enjoy it
Good luck! Do they not have a first reserve system in which you stay prepared just in case someone gets injured?
@@tomc4849 Yes, but it is very, very rarely used
Get in!
So,so,pleased for you. I’ve seen the effort you put in on the Saturday mornings at the Withdean. Take your deserved chance and hope to watch you at Paris 800m Final ,as I have a ticket to watch next Saturday evening.
Next time, break the Adderall in half.
Wow, congratulations Elliot. But it sounds mad to me that you feel the need to do a hard speed session now. Surely that can't help at this stage?
nothing comes randomly
