An installation has been unveiled in Sheffield city centre to chart the city’s Olympic legends over the past 100 years.

Coinciding with Sheffield Theatres’ production of Chariots of Fire, the installation on Tudor Square marks the return of the Olympic Games to Paris 100 years since the city first hosted it.

A specially designed track outside the theatre allows passers-by to discover Sheffield’s contributions to the games over the years.

Visitors can learn more about local sporting legends including Ernest Harper, Sheila and John Sherwood, Lord Sebastian Coe, Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill and Grace Clough MBE. Inside the Crucible foyer, banners detail the history and achievements of the six athletes.
