Top class athletics action moves to Switzerland tonight and Athletissima 2008 in Lausanne. Fresh from a strong race in Gateshead at the weekend Paul will take his place tonight in his specialist event the 200m alongside such sprinting luminaries as Usain Bolt, Wallace Spearmon and Shaun Crawford. This track has been known to produce some super-fast times in the past and Paul can be hopeful of producing a strong race if weather conditions co-operate.
Good Luck Paul...!
