Ethan Hussey (born 5 March 2003) is an English middle-distance runner specializing in the 800 metres. He won a bronze medal at the 2022 World Athletics U20 Championships in the 800 m.

Career

Hussey first represented the United Kingdom at the 2022 World Athletics U20 Championships, where he won a bronze medal in the 800 m.[1] This earned him the Athletics Weekly British male under-20 athlete of the year award for 2022.[3]

The following year, Hussey won a silver medal at the 2023 European Athletics U23 Championships in the 800 m, finishing narrowly behind Frenchman Yanis Meziane.[4] He missed the 2023 British Worlds team by just half a second, finishing fourth at the British trials.[1]

Personal life

Hussey grew up playing rugby football, but after a leg injury he switched to athletics. He studies sport and business management at Leeds Beckett University, where he is coached by Andy Henderson.[2] He was inspired by fellow 800 m runner Ben Pattison.[5]
