GREAT Britain’s breakthrough sprinter of 2016, Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake, says he is ready to make the most of difficulties thrown his way this year to move forward into 2017 as a better athlete.
Mitchell-Blake, European junior gold medal-winning sprinter from 2013, now based in the States at Louisiana State University, made his mark as a senior in May when he ran 19.95 to go second on the all-time British 200m list before going on to earn himself a place on both the European and Olympic teams this summer.
