British sprinters challenge in Torino

05.03.2009 World

Great Britain has a stranglehold on the title with Dwain Chambers and European Under-23 champion, Simeon Williamson, leading the charge.
While Chambers (6.51) has been operating in the low-6.50s all winter, Williamson (6.53) has been quietly peaking and could prove a threat. Backed up by third string, European Indoor silver Craig Pickering (6.57) there is strength in depth for the British squad.

But it is by no means a done deal. The host nation has a trio of sprinters that will be raised by home support. Fabio Cerruti (6.55) set a national record on the Oval Lingotto and with Simone Collio and Emanuele di Gregorio (both 6.60) they will be no pushover.

The German challenge will be led by Stefan Shwab (6.59), while Dariusz Kuć (POL, 6.59) and former-Briton Ryan Mosely (AUT, 6.63) should all be in the mix.

Russian Mikhail Idrisov will compete for Russian for the first time.
