Walcott’s training intensifies

OLYMPIC Gold medallist Keshorn Walcott resumed training ahead of the IAAF World Track and Field Championship in Moscow, Russia in August and has intensified his preparations, his manager Sean Roach said yesterday.

Walcott pulled out of the Sagicor National Championships that was held at the Hasely Crawford Stadium at the weekend and he got another reason to stay out of action after he was involved in a three car accident on Saturday on Wrightson Road, Port-of-Spain.

Yesterday Roach confirmed that there were no serious injuries to the Olympic javeler after the Kia Sportage SUV he was driving was hit from behind, pushing it on to another vehicle in front of him.

Walcott had been on his way to practice at the stadium when the accident occurred.

Roach explained that while there were no injuries to the athlete, he was still examined by his physiotherapist before starting his training. Walcott’s preparation has since gone into over drive as the Toco resident attempt to rebound from a number of unfavourable performances over the past two months.
