Tabo Huntley reports on Graeme Ballard as he heads for the World Championships

Well that is it, 9th July sees Graeme’s last track session in the UK before heading out to the British Athletics Holding Camp in France and then onto Lyon for the IPC World Athletics Championships (19th to 27th July). Graeme goes into the WC leading the world rankings in the 100m and second for the 200m. As with any championships there will be stiff opposition in particular from Russian, Malaysia, Poland and Great Britain but Graeme has committed himself to a hard winter so all he has to do now is to perform at his best. But there is even more on the 28th Graeme will also be competing over the 100m at the Anniversary Games in the Olympic Stadium so a busy week is completed. WC Race schedule 100m semi Sunday 21st 100m final Monday 22nd 200m semi Tuesday 23rd 200m final Wednesday 24th.
