British Grand Prix: Mo Farah should start year with a bang

There are other British athletes in action in Birmingham this weekend.

Jenny Meadows, who missed out on a place at the Olympics, is set to return in the 800m after injury. It has been a really tough few months for Jenny but I believe her rehabilitation has gone well.

I’m also looking forward to seeing how pole vaulter Holly Bleasdale and high jumper Robbie Grabarz get on. Both will be using the event to prepare for next month’s European Indoor Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Robbie, who won bronze at the Olympics, will go head-to-head with Olympic gold medallist Ivan Ukhov and world silver medallist Aleksey Dmitrik. It should be a fascinating contest.

Dwain Chambers goes in a strong 60m field, which also includes Jamaica’s Nesta Carter, while Asha Philip is taking part in the women’s equivalent against the likes of Olympic 100m champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.

It is getting to the business end of the indoor calendar, with Gothenburg around the corner. Brace yourselves for a highly competitive day’s action in Birmingham.

Jonathan Edwards will be presenting live coverage of the British Grand Prix on 16 February from 13:00 GMT on BBC One. Lead commentary by Steve Cram, with Colin Jackson, Denise Lewis and Paula Radcliffe providing expert analysis.
