| Colin Jackson is undoubtedly one of the greatest athletes ever in the history of British and Welsh athletics. He is the holder of two world records - indoor 60mH and outdoor 110mH. The 2003 indoor season will be Colin’s last in the international arena as he officially retires in March at the World Indoor Championships in Birmingham, England.
In 2002 he set himself a target of winning three international honours - the first he captured in Vienna in March winning the European Indoor 60mH title for the fourth time. In summer 2002 he missed out on adding a third Gold medal to his Commonwealth tally after hitting the first hurdle but recovered amazingly to claim his second Silver medal in this event. The European Championships in Munich saw Colin bring home the Gold medal for the 4th time.
Colin Jackson was awarded the MBE in 1990 for his services to athletics. |
