AFP: Ohuruogu set for track return: "Christine Ohuruogu, Britain's 400 metres world champion, will begin her build-up to the Beijing Olympics by competing at an indoor Grand Prix meeting in Birmingham on February 16.
The Londoner, who dramatically won gold in Osaka in August just three weeks after completing a year-long suspension for missing a drugs test, is to race over 60 metres and 200 metres.
It will be the 23-year-old Commonwealth champion's only indoor appearance this season with Ohuruogu set to miss the World Indoor Championships in March.
'I don't normally do a lot of indoor running but if there is one event you want to do it is the Norwich Union Grand Prix in Birmingham,' Ohuruogu said.
'It's always the highlight of the indoor season. It will be great to get back to what I do best, competitive running, on February 16.'
Ohuruogu, who has been warm-weather training in South Africa, added: 'Training has been going really well for me over the winter and I can't wait for the season to start,' she added.
'What better motivation could there be than the possibility of an Olympic medal at the end of it?'
Ohuruogu was brought up in London, where the 2012 Olympics will be staged, and was widely tipped to be the 'face of the Games' for that event until she was banned for missing three doping tests."
