Biography
King was a three times British 110 metres hurdles champion (2017, 2019, 2020)[3][4] and three times British champion over the 60 metres hurdles (2019, 2020, 2023).[5]
In 2021, he reached the semi-finals at the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics.[6]
At the 2022 World Athletics Indoor Championships, King advanced to the final after successfully winning a draw of lots and finished 6th in the final. In the semi-finals, King and Japanese athlete, Shusei Nomoto, tied for the final non-automatic qualifying position with a time of 7.565. As there were no additional lanes available, a drawing of lots took place which saw King advance to the final as a result of his race bib labelled "King" being randomly drawn from a bag.[6]
Having not raced for almost a year, he announced his retirement from professional athletics in June 2025.[6]
