Jack Green will compete at World Athletics Championships after winning appeal
Tuesday 4 August 2015 17:55, UK
Jack Green will compete in the men's 400m hurdles at the World Athletics Championships this month following a successful appeal to British Athletics.
Green will now run in Beijing from August 22-30, and will also feature in the 4x400m relay team.
"I am pleased my appeal to be included in the individual event was successful,” Green said in a British Athletics statement.
"I'm now looking forward to putting on the GB vest once again and just want to focus on producing the best possible performance I can."
Fellow-Briton Nigel Levine, who won gold in the 4x400m at the European Championships in Zurich last year, also submitted a successful appeal and will now be part of the relay team.
Green will join compatriot Martyn Rooney - who was part of the same gold medal-winning team as Levine - in the hunt for individual 400m glory after he won his appeal on Monday.
But Andy Vernon, the European 10,000m silver medallist and steeplechaser Lennie Waite will not be involved after they failed to convince British Athletics they were wrong to leave them out of the original squad.
