Seven medals were won by Sheffield Hallam University students and alumni competing in the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

GB Boxing’s Lewis Richardson is amongst a host of Sheffield Hallam University students and alumni set to compete at the Commonwealth Games, which open in Birmingham this week (Thursday 28 July).

Two current Sheffield Hallam athletes and three alumni have been selected in the England Swimming team and will be considered for the final team that will represent their nation at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
