Melbourne, VIC – Athletics Australia has today confirmed that Christian Malcolm will depart his post as Head of High Performance and Coaching, returning to the United Kingdom this month.

“We’d like to thank Christian for his contribution over the last 18 months and wish him well for his next endeavour,” said Darren Gocher, CEO of Athletics Australia.

“Our attention is now squarely focused on the upcoming Summer program and Olympic Games in Tokyo next year. Athletics Australia has built robust structures and systems along with a stable of excellent coaches that place us in good stead as we move forward with our high performance program.”

Athletics Australia will look to appoint an Australian Head of High Performance and Coaching, who has strong relationships and credibility with Australia’s high performance athletes and will lead the team for the Tokyo Olympic Games.
