Age no bar for Ottey as she gets ready for Barcelona 2010
Merlene Ottey, the legendary sprinter who turned 50 on Monday, is preparing herself for the 20th European Athletics Championships to be held in Barcelona between 26 July and 1 August.
With Ottey's enthusiasm not waning at all in the last three decades, the Slovenian athlete who represented Jamaica for more than two decades is aiming for a better performance in Barcelona than four years ago in Göteborg when she reached the semi-finals of the women's 100m.
Her coach Srdjan Djordjevic has confirmed Ottey's intentions to run in Barcelona.
Although her last 100m race dates back to 2008, when she clocked 11.60, last winter she clocked 7.66 over 60 metres.
Differences between Ottey, who still lives and trains in California, and the Jamaican athletics federation after the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney encouraged the athlete to change her nationality.
Since then, she has been competing for Slovenia, a country she represented at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games and 2006 European Athletics Championships.
