Former world indoor champion Dwain Chambers is to make his return to athletics at age 40.

Chambers time of 6.70 seconds at the Lee Valley December Open ranked him 17th in last year’s
UK indoor times.

The athlete last ran for Great Britain in 2014 and has tried his hand at American Football during his ban from professional running.

Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova has appeared in court in Brno, describing the knife attack she suffered when her home was broken into in December 2016.
