"Dwain Chambers is additionally someone whose character I see myself streamer towards. Dwain is really studious in his rave to the approach he runs and afterwards unexpected hes got a large opening on you since hes set his competition up so well."

The video research was usually not long ago put in to use during a warm-weather precision stay in South Africa and, though it is still early days, Aikines-Aryeetey is gay with the formula so far.

Having accomplished runner-up to Chambers at the UK trials and taken a cube out of his prior personal best, he does not order out his initial comparison general award in Doha to supplement the send bronze award he won at last summers World Championships in Berlin.

"Doha is a really critical eventuality for me experience-wise," he says.

"I would similar to to think that I could run faster and I would similar to to think there could be may be a bronze award if run my comprehensive best."

But the bigger design is the 100 metres this summer, and he is carefree the alleviation indoors will interpret in to a sub-10-second clocking a miracle completed in Britain usually by Chambers, Linford Christie and Jason Gardener.

"I hold my time will come," he says. "I know Im not the accomplished product but if I can run 9 seconds this year, that would be awesome."
