Cheltenham middle-distance runner Gemma Turtle has been selected for the Great Britain squad at the World Indoor Championship in Doha next month.

The 23-year-old was selected for the 3,000m on the back of her victory in the event at the British trials in Sheffield a fortnight ago.

Turtle, who has consistently beaten personal bests this year, is targeting a place at the 2012 Olympics.

The Championship takes place in the Qatar capital on 12-14 March.
