Ioan and Garan Croft: The twin brothers now having to compete for one place on the GB Olympic team

Pursuing an Olympic dream is hard enough, let alone when your own twin brother is standing in your way.

That is the problem facing Wales' Ioan and Garan Croft.

But they will never fight each other.

The twins had an extraordinarily successful 2022, boxing at 67kgs and 71kgs respectively.

Last year Ioan Croft won a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games and a bronze medal at the European championships, one of the hardest international tournaments in Olympic-style boxing.

Garan Croft was a bronze medallist at the Commonwealths last summer and an even more impressive light-middleweight silver medallist at the European championships.

Their achievements are all the more noteworthy as they're only just 21 years old.

"I was obviously gutted at the time," Garan Croft said of his European silver. "It's very physically demanding for someone of my age to actually fight five times in the space of about 10 days, against high-class opponents as well."
