East Kilbride teenager Harvey Mitchell-Divers jets to Turkey this week to take part in an event that could eventually lead to a place in the 2028 Olympic Games.
The talented athlete, who specialises in obstacle course racing (OCR) is taking part in the UIPM Pentathlon in Ankara, which will give him a taste of how suited he is to the sport, while boosting the prospect of OCR replacing horse riding in the five events.
The UIPM Pentathlon is a trial event for OCR’s possible inclusion in the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028 – which is being pushed by Spartan Race CEO Joe De Sena – as they look at selecting two variations of obstacle racing.
