Omoregie targets British hurdling success at European Indoor Championships

Welshman Omoregie and Pozzi were this week named among the 32-strong Great Britain team for the European Indoor Championships in Belgrade from March 3-5.

They will also be joined in the 60m hurdles by David King as Britain launches a three-pronged bid for success. Pozzi is currently the fastest male hurdler in the world this year over 60m with a best time of 7.43 seconds, while both Omoregie and King have an indoor season's best of 7.63.

And ahead of next month's European Championships, Omoregie believes the strength in depth in British hurdling is plain to see.

"I train with Andrew and he has been doing very well," he told BBC Wales Sport.

"Everyone around British Athletics knows how talented he is. He has had these times in him over the last couple of years but with his injury record he has not had that chance to do it.

"We have trained together well this winter and have pushed each other.

"David King also ran a personal best last weekend so he is also going well.

"There is no reason why all of us can make the final and then in hurdles anything can happen.

"The event is definitely on the up in this country." Sportsbeat 2017
