With his training and competition planning throughout this year all geared towards the Games, National Champion Ben Offereins will run the heats of the individual 400m tomorrow (Thursday 7 October) at 5:10pm AEST.
From the athletes entered in the 400m, Offereins goes in as the one with the fastest time thus far in 2010. While he acknowledges that this counts for little come race day, he can take confidence from his first full year on the international circuit, where he has competed against the top athletes in the world on a regular basis.
The Semi Final of the 400m is scheduled for 12:05am AEST on the morning of Saturday 9 October, with the Final on at 1:00am AEST on the morning of Sunday 10 October.
All races will be telecast on OneHD as well as on Foxtel’s dedicated Commonwealth Games channels.
