EURO SILVER MEDALLIST CHRIS THOMPSON ON HIS MARKS FOR BUPA GREAT YORKSHIRE RUN
Chris Thompson, winner of the 10000 metres silver medal at the recent European Championships will again compete at the Bupa Great Yorkshire Run on 5 September.Thompson will return to the Sheffield venue in a much better frame of mind having finally overcome the injuries which hindered his career since winning the European Under 23 5000m gold medal in 2003. The 29 year old Aldershot athlete’s performance in Barcelona, where he finished runner-up behind Aviva GB teammate Mo Farah, has enabled him to set his sights on more success in the future - in particular the 2012 London Olympic Games.
