Carroll aims to turn season around

MARK CARROLL will have the opportunity to turn his season around when he lines up for the final of the men’s 5000 metres tomorrow.

The 30-year-old Corkman took a bronze medal in a thrilling finish involving three Spaniards four years ago in Budapest. He would have been coming to Munich confident of at least a repeat but for a whole series of circumstances that upset all his plans.

A damaged knee last December required remedial surgery and wiped out his whole track season.
