Welsh decathlon record holder Ben Gregory has been named in Great Britain’s team for the European Combined Events Team Championships Super League in Lutsk.

The Birchfield Harrier will be part of an eight-strong team for the event in the Ukraine from July 6-7.

Gregory’s previous decathlon appearance this summer was at the Senior championships in Bedford in May where he finished second to John Lane who is also Lutsk bound.

The Loughborough athlete, coached by Aston Moore, competed at the event when it was held in Estonia two years ago, finishing 10th overall.
