Welsh 400m star Jamie Baulch has left coach Linford Christie in a bid to revive his athletics career. The 30-year-old sprinter is relocating to Atlanta with new trainer Innocent Egbunike of Nigeria, a 4x400m bronze medallist at the 1984 Olympics and a silver medallist in the individual 400m at the world championships in 1987.
"Over the last four or five years I haven't trained properly and I haven't done the right training," said Baulch.
"Linford has been there looking after me and he's done a great job, but seeing him once every two weeks is not enough.
"To be at the top of the tree you have to have a coach there who is committed to the cause.
"It's not Linford's fault. He's a very busy man but I have decided to go away to train with Innocent Egbunike."
