Edwards could be tempted by the Athens games

"No athlete in their right mind would say they didn't want to go.

"It's a fantastic experience to be in the Olympic Games and have the chance of winning a medal.

"Having experienced what it has been like to be an Olympic champion it would be great to do it again."

Edwards is currently in Florida on a warm weather training camp with the Commonwealth Games next on his agenda.

He has won every major championship title, apart from the Commonwealth crown and gold in Manchester in July would mean he joins Linford Christie, Sally Gunnell and Daley Thompson in winning a full set of major titles.

Until this indoor season, Edwards stood head-and-shoulders above his opponents.

But with a 17.80-metre European indoor record, Sweden's Christian Olsson is emerging as a serious threat.

Edwards said: "I have to be brutally honest with myself and see what happens this summer.

"I may find age has caught me up and Christian Olsson might obliterate me and my world record, you just don't know what is going to happen."
