STORY
The Olympic 200 meter Champion Veronica Campbell-Brown will not relinquish her title lightly. Jamaican Campbell will also be at the adidas Brand Centre to describe how she plans to defend the Olympic crown from the likes of arch-rival Allyson Felix. Both sprinters didn’t qualify for the 100 meter event although Campbell who came fourth in her national trails may still be given a late reprieve by the Jamaica Amateur Athletic Association. The 26 year old only managed 2nd place behind Felix in the 200 meters at the World Championships in Osaka Japan last year so she feels she has something to prove in Beijing. What will make the difference on the day and is she still injury free?
