With the Olympic Games at the forefront of every athlete’s mind, Birmingham will be an important fixture in their season with seats aboard the Beijing-bound plane hotly contested. As ever, the men’s 100m will be one of the showcase events with Craig Pickering, Marlon Devonish, Simeon Williamson and Mark Lewis-Francis battling it out, but such is the depth in the current squad that there is also a plethora of talent elsewhere. The women’s 400m gold and silver world medallists, Christine Ohuruogu and Nicola Sanders, will go head-to-head while Becky Lyne, Jemma Simpson, Jenny Meadows and Marilyn Okoro will compete in the middle distances.
