OTTAWA<\/strong> – Athletics Canada named today a contingent of 32 athletes who will travel to Daegu, South Korea for the 2011 World Championships in Athletics.\u00a0 The biggest sporting event of 2011 will feature athletes from over 200 countries converging for nine days of competition on a state of the art Mondo SportFlex Super X track.\u00a0 The World Championships run August 27 through September 4 with the Canadian team beginning departures on August 14 for a final preparation camp in Changwon City, South Korea.<\/p>\n

\u201cKorea is our dress rehearsal for London and we are preparing athletes to have their best performances of the year in Daegu.\u00a0 Our veterans are ready; Armstrong, Felicien, Zelinka and the men\u2019s 4x100m team are tracking for top finishes.\u00a0 The return from injury of Scott Russell in the javelin and Jim Steacy in the hammer, both Olympic finalists in Beijing, adds further depth to the Team,\u201d said Alex Gardiner, World Championship team Head Coach.\u00a0 He adds, \u201cIn September we will analyze the results, define the gaps and set our final plan for the Olympic Games.\u201d<\/p>\n

Headlining Canada\u2019s entry in the 13th<\/sup> World Championships in Athletics is Kamloops, B.C.\u2019s Dylan Armstrong.\u00a0 Armstrong set a new Canadian record of 22.21-metres at the Canadian Championships in June, a mark that still holds up as the season world leading performance.\u00a0 He also leads the Diamond League standings in the shot put with 13 points.<\/p>\n

Two-time world outdoor medalist Perdita Felicien of Pickering, Ont., is looking for a strong showing at the World Championships as she has her sights firmly set on a podium at next summer\u2019s Olympic Games. Felicien, the 2003 world champion and 2007 silver medalist, is always a top three threat at major championships.<\/p>\n

The men\u2019s 4×100-metres relay team is aiming to improve on their fifth place showing from the 2009 World Championships in Berlin.\u00a0 The relay team is coming off a strong camp in Ottawa and will continue to perfect their art at the final preparation camp with their eyes on a top three finish in Korea.<\/p>\n

The team will also feature 12 up and coming stars who will line up in their debut world championship. \u201cSeveral of our rising stars are ready to challenge for spots in the finals as they get their first taste of competing against the planet\u2019s very best\u201d added Gardiner.<\/p>\n
