Woodbridge aims for Olympic place

Pentathlon runners

Shropshire pentathlete Nick Woodbridge is in anxious mood over his chances of making this year's Olympics.

The top 36 in the world rankings qualify - and he is currently 35th.

He's competing in the latest round of the modern pentathlon World Cup and looking to pick up valuable ranking points to improve his position.

"I'm hoping for a top 10 finish," he told BBC Radio Shropshire. "But the final selections won't be made til June - and that's quite a nervy wait."

The five-discipline event takes in shooting, swimming, fencing, horse-riding and running.
