BBC SPORT | Olympics & Olympic sport | London 2012 | Ottley seeking javelin 2012 stars: "Shropshire's former Olympic medallist Dave Ottley is throwing himself into reviving the fortunes of the javelin for the 2012 Games.

The man who won silver in Los Angeles in 1984 has seen British javelin throwing slip out of the headlines.

'We no longer have top names like Steve Backley, Mick Hill or Kelly Morgan,' he told BBC Radio Shropshire.

'So what we're doing is trying to use the excitement of this year's Games to generate kids' interest ahead of 2012.'"
