Christine Ohuruogu Upbeat Despite Loss

Christine Ohuruogu remains upbeat despite a poor 400m race the weekend insisting that she will still be on the plane to the world championships in Daegu.

This season has seen Ohuruogu struggling to comeback from injury and she looked to be heading in the right direction earlier in the season she took a step back at the weekend finishing last.

A quadriceps injury has been what she has been struggling with - and she was further hindered last week by a cold.

But she is still upbeat about being fit and ready for the world championships at the end of the month.

Speaking to the BBC she said: I don't believe it will take me long to get fit. I'm still going.

"You need to be fit, you need to be fast and need to be strong. I'm lacking in a few areas. I just haven't done enough work to challenge these girls.

"I did enjoy it (the race), I've missed running with these girls. I gave them all a big hug before we started."

The race was won by American Sanya Richards Ross.
