Parents
Born to a British father, Stuart Hinchliffe, who was a goalkeeper at Leyton Orient, and his mother Leilani, who is from the Philippines, Hinchliffe was a promising junior golfer with a handicap of 0.7 and played for Manchester City before concentrating on athletics. I had refused the trial.
Ethnicity
“He’s been really good for him as a mentor because he’s been there himself,” said Hinchliffe’s mother Leilana, who is from the Philippines. “We’re really proud of her. She’s still humble because she had a Filipino upbringing,” he said.
Schedule and Results
Great Britain’s Louis Hinchliffe beat US world champion Noah Lyles to qualify for the men’s 100m semi-finals at Paris 2024 with teammate Jarnell Hughes.
Making her Olympic debut, 22-year-old Hinchliffe clocked 9.98 seconds for an impressive win over Lyles (10.04) as both qualified automatically from their heats.
“It felt great but it didn’t get the job done. I don’t want to get too ahead of myself,” British champion Hinchliffe told BBC Sport.
World bronze medalist Hughes will also compete in Sunday’s semi-finals, which will be held the same night before the final, running 10.03 for third place in the final race of the morning session.
However, British teammate Jeremiah Azu was disqualified for a false start in the opening heat – a decision which the 23-year-old unsuccessfully appealed against.
The women’s 100m semi-finals, featuring Team GB’s Dina Asher-Smith, Daryl Nita and Imani Lancicott, will start at 18:50 BST on Saturday with the final at 20:20.
