On learning of his selection Babatunde thanked his mum Pauline, his coach of 11 years Rick Betts and others such as strength coach Matthew Wright of Teesside University and for their help in getting him to this stage in his career. He said “it's a great honour and it wouldn't have been possible without a lot of help from a lot of people over the years and I hope it I can be a bit of an inspiration to other young athletes in my group and my club”
