British track sprinter Emma Finucane will carry both medal and world record hopes at the European Track Championships next month, where she will try to beat the flying 200m benchmark.
The women’s world record is currently held by China’s Yuan Liying, who became the first female to clock below 10 seconds with a 9.976 last March – an average of more than 72kph. The European Championships, scheduled for 1-5 February, will take place in the same velodrome in Konya, Turkey where Liying set her record.
