The road to London 2012

At the end of January next year, UK Athletics indoor programme will begin in Scotland, as the road to London 2012 begins.

These athletics that went to the Beijing Olympics back in the summer, will be looking forward to play at three different venues (Glasgow, Birmingham and Sheffield) after the New Year. It’s the road to London 2012. It may be a long road, but the journey will be see some talented young youths and experienced athletes coming through the ranks, and we might see them when the time comes in 2012.

Hard work in training will pay off in the UK Championship and other competitions these athletes compete in the world of athletics. 2009 looks to be exciting year when the European Indoor championships begin in March, where GB athletes topped the medal table last time. The World Championships will take place in August, so there are plenty of events to look forward to.

The one that starts at the end of January is in Glasgow and it will not only see GB and Northern Ireland, but USA, Germany, Sweden will take part in a commonwealth team in a one day event.
