Nolan free of injury and thrilled to be back racing

JAMES NOLAN faces his moment of truth when he lines up for the heats of the 1,500 metres at the World Indoor Championships in Birmingham this evening (5.31pm).

He admitted last night that no matter what happens he is just glad to be back running again.

"At the end of last season I contemplated packing it in all together," Nolan said. "Things were bad. I had this problem with my hip, and when you have an injury like that it affects your head. I was going nowhere."
