The 2012 Olympics in London are now less than six months away and on Saturday an international field of athletes took part in the Aviva Indoor International in Glasgow with more than an eye on the Games this summer.  We talk to three athletes hoping to compete at the Olympics - USA sprint hurdler and World Championship silver medallist Danielle Carruthers (below left, photo copyright Fast Track), Kenya's middle distance runner Augustine Choge and the evergreen sprinter from St Kitts and Nevis, Kim Collins.

Novak Djokavic confirmed his position as world number one men's tennis player after an epic five-sets win over Rafael Nadal in Sunday's Australian Open final.  We hear his comments about that win and his respect for Nadal after the longest final in Grand Slam history.
