Nicholas Percy (born 5 December 1994) is a Scottish athlete specialising in the discus throw.[4]

Biography

Percy represented Great Britain at the 2017 World Championships without reaching the final. He won a silver medal at the 2013 European Junior Championships.

His personal best in the event is 67.73 metres, set at the Oklahoma Throws Series, Ramona, Oklahoma, USA, on 6 April 2024. This Improved his PB by more than two metres and his ranking from No.10 to No.2 on the UK all-time list.

Only UK record-holder Lawrence Okoye has thrown further with his national record of (68.24m) from 2012. It also improved his own Scottish record of 65.00m, which he achieved at the UK Championships in 2022. [5]

He became British champion for the fifth time when winning the discus throw event at the 2022 British Athletics Championships with a throw of 65.00.[6]

After winning the discus silver medal at the 2024 British Athletics Championships, Percy was subsequently named in the Great Britain team for the 2024 Summer Olympics[7] where he failed to qualify for the final.[8]
