Kilty confident ahead of World Relay Championships

World and European 60m champion Kilty was a mainstay in Great Britain's men's 4x100m team in 2014, the highlight being gold at the European Championships in Zurich.

The 2015 edition of the newly formed World Relay Championships sees a number of new faces added to the ranks with the likes of Roy Ejiakuekwu and Sean Safo-Antwi joining James Ellington, Danny Talbot and Andy Robertson.

But Kilty is still confident of securing a top-eight finish inside the Thomas Robinson Stadium on Saturday evening to cement a place at the 2016 Olympics.

"Last year we run sub 38 twice and I think if we can run that sort of time again we can definitely push for a medal," he said.

"The Jamaicans and the Americans have got really strong teams, we've got a few guys missing but we are still pretty confident we can go out there and get a medal.

"I think if we put out our strongest team I think we can get up there and challenge. We've got some good guys coming through now. I think with the talent we have got we can get up there and challenge.

"I've now linked back up with Linford Christie and we are focussing to try and have some success outdoors over 100 and 200.

"That is the main focus for me now after winning the European and world indoors.

"The last three years have been very successful, it's been a big breakthrough for me in the 60 metres and the relays."
