Hi All,

In celebration of the end of the Athletics season (the final Diamond League meet is in Brussels tomorrow!), I would like to share with you my latest article, Could the next Usain Bolt be from Africa?, which was published in the Mandate Men’s Conference Magazine released yesterday, for the ongoing Mandate Men’s Conference at Jesus House in London:

I think that this article is a very nice way to summarise the progress we’ve made since we started this project, and a great way to wrap up the season, especially considering Mr Bolt’s comments yesterday at the Brussels press conference, confirming that he intends to retire after the 2016 Olympics (assuming he continues to dominate until then ofcourse). Considering the Jamaican conveyor belt of sprinters, with the likes of Yohan Blake, Nesta Carter, Nickel Ashmeade, Warren Weir and Kemar Bailey-Cole all waiting in the wings, the next Usain Bolt is odds on to be a Jamaican – but could Africa bring itself into the conversation by 2016? Read on – only time will tell

Don't forget to leave your comments on the blog - thank you!
