Gemili's road to Rio to include Glasgow Indoor Grand Prix

Gemili, who won two golds at the 2014 European Championships and two silver medals at the Commonwealth Games that same year, will face the likes of Richard Kilty, Trayvon Bromell and Kim Collins at the event on February 20.

The 22-year-old suffered a hamstring injury last June that curtailed his 2015 season but returned to the track at the Welsh Open Indoor Championships last weekend.

He clocked a personal best time of 6.59 seconds in Wales and admits he is ecstatic to be back racing as he continues to build towards the Olympics.

"2015 was bittersweet for me," explained Gemili. "It was amazing to become only the sixth British man in history to break 10 seconds for the 100m but rupturing my hamstring and missing the World Championships in Beijing was a massive disappointment.

"Now I’m fit and ready to return and looking forward to the 2016 season.

"The Glasgow Indoor Grand Prix is the ideal way for me to begin my journey to the Rio Olympic Games.

"The competition is absolutely top class and I can’t wait to face so many top athletes. It really is an incredible line-up and I’m very excited."
