athletics - FRANCIS IN RACE MOVE.
(From Newsletter)
OLYMPIC sprint relay champion Mark-Lewis Francis has announced he will start competing in the 200metres.
The 22-year-old, who held off world champion Maurice Greene on the anchor leg as the Great Britain 4x100m team edged out the Americans in Athens, will double up in order to improve his chances over the shorter sprint.
Lewis-Francis is better known as a 100m specialist and he maintained that would still be his immediate focus at next weekOs Norwich Union World Championships, Commonwealth trials and AAA Championships in Manchester.
He said: OI will run the three rounds of the 100m at the world trials and see how I go.
OItOs 50/50 at the moment but I am seriously considering running the 200m.O
The Birchfield Harrier has rarely competed over the longer distance but he successfully doubled up on his last outing at the North Down Games in Northern Ireland last Friday, setting a personal best of 20.78seconds.
