EUROPEAN and Commonwealth champion Andy Turner will start his Olympic campaign in the 60m hurdles at the Aviva International Match on January 28.

Following on from his bronze medal in the 110m hurdles at the World Championships in Daegu last August, the Hucknall athlete will launch his 2012 season with a return to Glasgow's Kelvin Hall.

The 31-year-old sprint hurdler has just returned from a winter spent at a warm-weather facility in Orlando, where he trained alongside Olympic bronze medallist David Oliver.

He said: "It's really exciting that we've finally made it to 2012. It's a really important year on the calendar but there's a lot of work still to do.

"I've had a great winter of training and feel strong coming into the indoor season.

"If I can get a good couple of results under my belt early on in the season it will show I'm on the right track.

"Bronze at the World Championships was a great achievement but it's not enough to carry me through until the Olympics. I have to keep pushing for that edge.

"2012 is a huge year and I'm doing everything I can to prepare for it, but you can't let the Olympics take over.

"The whole country has gone mad for the Olympics but right now I'm all about Glasgow and starting my year on the best note I can."
