Odyssey awaits for golden Ohuruogu

THE awesome presence of Olympic 400m champion, Christine Ohuruogu, will add an air of excitement to this weekend’s Woodies DIY Irish Indoor Championships at The Odyssey in Belfast, where she will begin the build-up to the defence of her world title in Berlin next August.

With Ohuruogu scheduled to compete in both the 60m and the 200m, fans will have plenty of opportunity to savour the combination of power and speed that is the hallmark of her performance.

The 24-year-old Newham athlete races very sparingly. Last summer, her rare low key appearances on the circuit led many to believe that she stood little chance of defeating hot favourite Sanya Richards in the Olympic final, but her emphatic victory again proved that her single-minded approach to major championships suits her.
