Olsson poised for Glasgow return
Christian Olsson
Olympic triple jump champion Christian Olsson is hoping to end his 16-month injury nightmare by returning to action in Glasgow on 28 January.

The 25-year-old Swede has been suffering with an ankle injury since September last year.

He is hoping to defend his world indoor title in Moscow next March and is set to meet doctors before confirming his appearance in Glasgow.

"I have targeted the Glasgow match for my return," said Olsson.

"But I will only compete indoors if I am 100% ready and I should find out within the next couple of weeks whether that will be possible.

"I am eager to be back competing in the indoor season and to have the opportunity to defend my world title in Moscow."
