Video NationYou are in: London > Video Nation > One eye on Beijing, two on London ![]() One eye on Beijing, two on LondonRhion Samuel has only been training for three years, but at the age of 16 he is the second fastest 200 metres runner in Great Britain. As well as develeping as an athlete, Rhion feels that athletics has also helped to develop him as a person.
For Rhion Samuel it started at his school's sports day, and now after coming second in the British schools finals he is at the moment the second fastest for his age in the 200 metres. With the Olympics only fours years away Rhion has become a good prospect for representing Great Britain in the London Olympics, something he would dearly love to do. Since his introduction into athletics Rhion has found that his personal development has increased whilst being involved in an athletics club. Rhion feels that there are many young people in London that haven't reached their true potential but have the ability to find something in themselves that could drive them to succeed. For Rhion his calling is to run...and to run fast. last updated: 20/08/2008 at 11:45 SEE ALSOYou are in: London > Video Nation > One eye on Beijing, two on London Video NationPopular films on Video Nation right now |
