Backley confident

[JB]

This weeks AW see's an interview with Backley were he is quite bullish about his chances in Athens. he says training has been going better than ever and he recently suprised himself as at the rip old age of 35 he did two new weights pb's (155kg bench & 112kg snatch)

he confirmed his final uk appearance will be at crystal palce but also said he intends to throw at gateshead on the 27th of this month. he dropped out of the spar cup as he felt air travel may play up a hip injury he's carrying
