Christine Ohuruogu in Jamaica
29.01.2010 World
Britain‘s Christine Ohuruogu left the cold London winter weather today to sample the sunnier climate of Kingston, Jamaica where she will spent the next three weeks training with Racers Track Club.
The 25 year old will forego the indoor season to concentrate on the outdoor competition and in particular the European Athletics Championships in Barcelona in July where a gold medal would make her only the fifth British athlete to win the ‚Athletics Grand Slam‘ of Olympic, World, Commonwealth and European titles. Despite being many miles away Ohuruogu will feel at home as long time training partner British 100m Champion Simeon Williamson has been training in Jamaica over the winter and coach Lloyd Cowan will join the pair next week. Ohuruogu plans to open her season with some low key meets in the US in April and then the IAAF Diamond League where she will face the top 400m runners on a regular basis. Writes her agent Ricky Simms.
