Team GB's Zharnel Hughes eyes Olympic medal

Team GB sprinter Zharnel Hughes is confident that he can win a medal at the 2016 Olympic Games.

Zharnel Hughes has vowed to do everything that he can to win a medal at next year's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

The Anguilla-born sprinter, who was recently granted clearance to compete for Team GB, has won the British Championships and a Diamond League meeting in Lausanne over 200m this year.

"My coach is going to work me up next season - he is already preparing the programme. He is ready to kill me. Nevertheless, I am going to put in the work and we'll see what happens at the Olympics next year," The Guardian quotes the 20-year-old as saying.

"I continued putting in the work and I am heading to the World Championships in great shape and after that is the Olympics. Leading up to that, I think I will be great and will probably medal - you never know."

Hughes currently trains in Jamaica alongside Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake and Warren Weir.
