NatWest is excited to be bringing an exceptional voice to the Climb26 stage: Jonnie Peacock MBE, Paralympic gold medallist, world champion and record‑breaking sprinter, for a special live Q&A with Rita Collins.
Jonnie Peacock was one of the stars of the London Paralympic Games when the then 19-year-old made history to win the T44 100m. He won World Championship gold in 2013 in Lyon. And he reclaimed the world title at London 2017. Jonnie has won every major medal available with gold at London followed by a repeat four years later at Rio 2016.
At European level he has been equally prolific with gold medals coming at the IPC European Championships in Swansea in 2014 and Grosseto in 2016.
Jonnie ran the second leg of the 4x100m Universal Relay quartet who won silver at Tokyo 2020, a podium place that was then repeated at Paris 2024. Jonnie returned to international action at the 2023 World Para Athletics Championships in Paris, where he earned a respectable 5th place in a closely contested T64 100m with a 10.98 seconds run. Jonnie also competed on the BBC show Strictly Come Dancing in 2017.
He’ll be sharing his inspiring journey of resilience, mindset and high performance. Hosted by Rita Collins, the live Q&A promises to be open, engaging and thought‑provoking, diving beneath the headlines to explore the human side of high performance. Audiences can expect honest discussion, inspirational moments and real‑world takeaways that extend well beyond the track.
Thank you to NatWest and their Team GB Partnership for providing such a great speaker, we cant wait!
