Mark English has ruled himself out of next week’s World Indoor Athletics Championships in China.
On a social media post, the Finn Valley AC man stated:
“Unfortunately, I will not be competing at the World Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China,
“I’m dealing with an illness that I picked up since the European Indoors in Apeldoorn.
“Massively disappointing for me personally, but I want to wish the team and my Fast 8 Track Club teammates travelling the very best of luck.”
English claimed bronze in the 800-metres at the Europeans last weekend.
