Athletics: Hannah England poised for Kelvin Hall outing

Hannah England, the World Championships 1500 metres silver medallist, will compete in Glasgow and Birmingham early this year as she builds up to a push at Olympic glory.

The 24-year-old will contest the 1500m at the Aviva International match at Glasgow’s Kelvin Hall on 28 January and the Aviva Grand Prix at the National Indoor Arena on 18 February.

England said: “I’m really looking forward to the indoor season. It’s important that I keep focused on training and preparation.

“[Last year’s silver medal in] Daegu is in the past and I just need to keep my head down and work towards London 2012.”

Mo Farah will also line up for the Kelvin Hall event, with the world 5,000 metres champion due to race over 1500m.
