Dasaolu out of World Indoors
BRITISH sprinter James Dasaolu hopes the hamstring injury which has ruled him out of next month’s World Indoor Championships will not hamper his outdoor season.
The 25-year-old was yesterday omitted from the squad of 35 to travel to Poland and, with July’s Commonwealth Games in mind, he said: “I am disappointed, but this is going to be a big year and I don’t want to take any risk at all.”
Pentathlon star Katarina Johnson-Thompson will represent Team GB in the long jump, after being overlooked for a wildcard entry for her favoured event.
