BARCELONA ACTION TOMORROW

Trackspeed1 duo David Bolarinwa and Edmond Amaning are ready for action in Barcelona, where the IAAF World Junior Championships are being staged this week.


David goes in the 200 metres for Great Britain tomorrow morning at 8.55am BST, and will feature among several favourites to win a medal.  Edmond must wait until Friday to see if he is selected for the 4x100m relay team.

The British team got off to a great start yesterday as Adam Gemilli flew up the straight in his 100m heat, underlining his status as clear favourite for gold tonight.  David will be hoping to tread in his footsteps.

The 200m semi-finals are tomorrow evening at 6pm BST, and the final is due off at 8.30pm BST on Friday.  The relay heats, which David will not take part in if he is in the 200m final, are at 6.05pm BST Friday, and the final is on Saturday at 8.50pm BST.

"The way this year is going for me personally, let alone Trackspeed1, who knows what these lads might achieve," said coach John Powell.  "The thought of three gold medals between them might be a little ambitious, but the Gods have certainly been smiling on us so far, so let's just see."
