Collins named for 6th Olympics

AFP, WASHINGTON: Former 100m world champion Kim Collins has been named to his sixth Olympics at the age of 40 after settling issues with the St. Kitts and Nevis Olympic Committee.
“So my friends, it’s now officially been confirmed! I’m going to Rio2016,” Collins tweeted.
Collins, who won the 2003 world 100m crown at Paris, and his homeland’s Olympic officials released a joint statement Wednesday confirming the agreement “following closure on the long-standing issues between the two parties.”
In 2012 at London, Collins was pulled from the Olympic team for missing training sessions while the sprinter said he was being punished for spending time with his wife.
“I am extremely happy that our longstanding issues have finally been put to rest and I will once again have the honour of representing my country,” Collins said.
