400m star Martyn Rooney will be going for gold for Great Britain at the Olympics - but like virtually all top athletes, he started off at school.

Pupils from his old school - The John Fisher School in Purley - spoke to Mr Davies, the school's head of PE who told them about Martyn's abilities as a schoolboy athlete.

And the School Reporters are attending the Diamond League meeting at Crystal Palace on Friday, where they will be covering all the action!
