AIKINES-ARYEETEY CALLED INTO GB&NI WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS TEAM

British Athletics have today confirmed that Harry Aikines-Aryeetey (club: Sutton & District; coach: Benke Blomkvist) has replaced CJ Ujah (Enfield & Haringey; Jonas Dodoo) in the men’s 4x100m relay squad for the IAAF World Championships Doha 2019.

Aikines-Aryeetey, who anchored the British quartet to the European title in Berlin last summer, has been called up for Doha after fellow continental champion and world 4x100m relay gold medallist from London 2017 Ujah was forced to withdraw with a back injury.

Captain of the British team for the European Team Championships in Bydgoszcz last month, Aikines-Aryeetey was part of the 2009 World Championship bronze-medal winning 4x100m relay quartet and will make his fifth appearance at a global gathering and 29th for GB&NI since his debut at the World Youth Championships in 2005, where he won double gold.
