Oxford triple jumper Nathan Douglas has said he is disappointed he will not be competing against reigning Olympic champion Christian Olssen this summer. The 28-year-old has pulled out of the Beijing Games with a thigh injury and Douglas told BBC Oxford that the event will be poorer without him. "I want everybody to be there, I want the world's best to be there," he said. "Olssen has that presence, it makes the competition even more juicy, I hope he makes a speedy recovery."
