David Oliver Tips 110m Hurdles To Be Highlight

David Oliver believes that the 11m hurdles is going to be on of the events at this summer's world championships.

Oliver is looking to get his hands on his world championship as he lines up in Daegu - but if this season is anything to go by there could be fireworks we get to the final.

The American has been just one of the inform hurdlers so far this season with Liu Xiang and Dayron Robles both posting good wins. While Jason Robinson has been a new face to watch out for over the barriers.

Speaking to Sky Sports he said: "I've got to work on my start but there's a lot of other aspects as well. They definitely have the legs on me in that regards.

"When you have fresh legs then coming out of the blocks is a lot easier but I've got three weeks or so until the worlds to get it right.

"It's definitely going to be exciting. I think it's a tough event but I'm so glad it's being mentioned up there in the same breath as the 100 metres and the relay.

"We're going to put on a great show for the crowd.

"I wouldn't be surprised at all if one of us breaks the world record. We're all going to be ready to run sub 13 for sure so it's definitely going to be a fast race."

The world champs get underway on Daegu on 27th August.
