Zharnel Hughes eyes gold at World Championships

British 200m champion Zharnel Hughes believes that he can do "great things" at this year's World Championships.

Zharnel Hughes has said that he is confident of winning the gold medal in the 200m at next month's World Championships.

The 20-year-old, who was born in Anguilla, claimed victory at the British Championships earlier this month to seal his place in Beijing.

"I know I'm in great form right now," Hughes told BBC Sport. "As long as I execute my races and the rounds properly I could take away the gold, or snatch a silver or bronze.

"I know I can do great things leading into the World Championships, but Rio is the next big stage for me and it would be a dream to win something for GB."

Hughes currently trains alongside Olympic champion Usain Bolt in Jamaica.
